In AT the Etude is written in 2/4 time signature, in two times smaller values – semiquaver triplets in the R.H. and quaver triplets in the L.H. It is the original concept, abandoned by Chopin not later than at the time of writing AW. The triplets of the L.H. do not have slurs in AT, which was probably related to the fact that the triplet grouping of the quavers unambiguously results from their beams.
