The use of the time signature is surprising only in GE1, as FE did not use the indication in the Etudes – contrary to the manuscripts – even once, neither in Op. 25 nor in Op. 10 and in the Etude in F minor, Dbop. 36 No. 1 (cf. also the Impromptu in A major, Op. 29). Anyways, the correctness and authenticity of the time signature is undeniable with respect to the compatible version of GC and EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Changes of metre , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , 4/4 or 2/2 |

composition: Op. 25 No 12, Etude in C minor
..
The use of time signature surprises only in GE1, as in FE the indication was not used in the Etudes – contrary to the manuscripts – at all, neither in Op. 25 nor in Op. 10 and the Etude in F minor, Dbop. 36 No. 1 (cf. also the Impromptu in A major, Op. 29). In any case, the correctness and authenticity of the time signature is unquestionable due to the compatible version of FC and EE. The correct time signature was returned in GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Changes of metre , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , 4/4 or 2/2 |

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I
..
The time signature in FE (→EE1) is almost certainly a result of inattention or manner of the engravers of FE, who in numerous pieces by Chopin seemed not to differentiate between and – see the Etudes, Op. 10 or the Impromptu in A major, Op. 29. Therefore, in the main text we give , written in GC (→GE), whose correctness and authenticity do not raise any doubts. This time signature – probably under the influence of GE – was introduced also in EE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , 4/4 or 2/2 |

Change of the time signature from to is one of the most characteristic inaccuracies of first editions of Chopin's works – see e.g. the Sonata in B minor, Op. 35, 1st mov., bar 1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , 4/4 or 2/2 , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |
