Date: (1843-1848)
Title: Etudes || 2me Étude
Dedication: Madame la Comtesse d'Agoult

Copy of FE3 from the collection of Chopin's pieces belonging to his pupil, Jane Stirling. It contains pencilled Chopin's additions, out of which the majority was corrected with ink by the owner. These are mostly numerous additions concerning fingering, moreover, corrections of the errors of the edition (deletion of the erroneous  in bar 44, addition of the overlooked  in bar 56) and changes of pedalling in bars 18 and 19.

The visible in bar 40  before the last a1 has a reminding character, it is most probably a lesson note, correcting the pupil's error.
