..

In the main text we give the metronome marking introduced by Chopin in a proofing of FE (→GE,EE). The slightly faster tempo than the one written by Chopin in A is compatible with the rhythmic changes in a few fragments of the Etude – in bars 27, 30 and 32 Chopin withdrew from the use of demisemiquavers.
