composition: Op. 10 No 3, Etude in E major

Chopin added the metronome indication at the time of proofreading FE. The value of crotchet in GE and EE is certainly erroneous – even with a quaver the tempo seems to be very fast and it has not been obeyed by the pianists for over one hundred years. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE , Errors in GE , Metronome tempos |

composition: Op. 25 No 2, Etude in F minor
..
Initially, Chopin – in AT and AW – considered Agitato to be a more important indication characterising the Etude than Presto, which he wrote only in AT. However, eventually, while preparing the work for print, he decided to leave Presto only. According to us, it can reflect the change of the piece's character, perhaps together with clarification of the concept of the entire opus. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Metronome tempos , Changes of tempo markings |

The values of the metronome tempo, both 120 in A and 160 in FC, were written with Chopin's hand, it was most probably also the case in the manuscript base text to EE. Therefore, in the main text we give 160, present in two authentic sources. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors of A , Metronome tempos |
