Chopin did not write the title of the piece in AI, although it is hard to believe that in August 1832, at the stage of completing the entire Op. 10, he could have even considered naming it differently than Etude. The conviction is not hampered by the fact that at the end of the editorial autograph of the Etude in E major, No. 3, Chopin uses the determination of tempo-character il presto con fuoco for the identification of the subsequent etude in the collection. In the main text we give the title and dedication in the undoubtedly authentic version adopted in FE. The extensions of both the title (in GE and EE) and the dedication (in EE) most probably come from the editors. See the Etude in C major, No. 1, bar 1.

In the main text we suggest an indication composed of the elements whose authenticity seems to be most plausible:  written by Chopin's hand in AI and , which is a natural starting point for cresc. in FE (→GE,EE).
