Date: circa 1850
Title: Douze Grandes Etudes || No. 2
Dedication: SON AMI F. LISZT

Third German edition in which a few revisions of the text of GE2 were performed, among others, accidentals were added again, e.g., in bars 21, 29, two digits of an alternative fingering in bar 4 were removed, the arrangement of the elements of the indication  in bar 30 was improved.

In GE3 a number of mistakes was also committed, e.g., the metronome mark displays 114 instead of 144,  marks in bars 34 and 44 were omitted.

There are copies of GE3 which differ in the cover details. The presented copy comes from the latest known reprint, ca. 1860. The visible in it pencilled entries are of no source value.
