The use of time signature is surprising only in CDP and EE, as in FE the indication in the Etudes – contrary to the manuscripts – was not used at all, neither in Op. 25 nor in Op. 10 and the Etude in F minor, Dbop. 36 No. 1 (see also the Impromptu in A major, Op. 29). In any case, the correctness and authenticity of the time signature leaves no doubts – a two-beat bar is written in two autographs (AT and AW) and in GC, based on an autograph. AT has a 2/4 time signature, which is a part of the original rhythmic notation of the Etude, discussed in the adjacent note. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Changes of metre , Inaccuracies in FE , 4/4 or 2/2 |

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. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Changes of metre |
