The  time signature is most probably an error or FE's and GE's revision. Changes of time signature indication of that kind are to be found on a number of occasions also in other Chopin's pieces issued by those publishing houses – cf. e.g. Etude in C, Op. 10 No. 1, bar 1..

We give the time signature's indication after CLI. Although FE (→GE,EE) has a , it is difficult to assume that the change of time signature was intentional, as in FE the indication  does not appear in any of the Etudes (contrary to the manuscripts), cf. the Etude in C minor, No. 4, F major, No. 8 and C minor, No. 12. This phenomenon is also present in other pieces, even in the most obvious cases, e.g., in the Etudes in F minor, Op. 25 No. 2, D major, Op. 25 No. 8 or F minor, Dbop. 36 No. 1.

We give the time signature marking after CLI and Ap. Although FE (→GE,EE) has , it is hard to assume that the change in time signature was done on purpose, if in FE the  marking was not used in the Etudes even once – contrary to the manuscripts – cf. Etudes in C minor, No. 4, F major, No. 8 and C minor, No. 12. The phenomenon appears also in other pieces, even in totally clear situations, e.g., in Etudes in F minor, Op. 25 No. 2, D major, Op. 25 No. 8 or F minor, Dbop. 36 No. 1.
