Title: Douze Grandes Etudes || No. 1
Dedication: SON AMI F. LISZT

Second German edition, in which the text of GE1 was subject to a quite detailed review:

  • some of the mistakes of GE1 were corrected, e.g., accidentals, as well as cautionary accidentals were added, e.g., a  before and a  before a3 in bar 7, a  before f2 in bar 12 or a few  in bar 32;
  • the withdrawal process from the abbreviated notation of the octaves with the digit was continued, e.g., in bars 7-8;
  • in bars 38, 40 and 60 long accents – unclear from the engraver's or reviser's point of view – were replaced with common short marks.
