EE1 - First English edition
| Publisher: | Wessel & Co. |
| Date: | X 1837 |
| Title: | Douze Etudes || No. 14 |
| Dedication: | Made. la Comtesse d'Agoult |
EE1 is based on a lost manuscript, probably [A] or – which is more likely – its copy. The manuscript, already after having been written, was entirely reviewed and corrected by Chopin, so that even the versions that differ EE1 from the remaining editions can be authentic (e.g. 
in bar 33). In turn, nothing indicates a possibility of Chopin proofreading of EE1.
On the other hand, EE1 overlooked a few changes and additions introduced by Chopin into FE and GC (→GE):
- slurring in bar 57;
- pedalling in bar 67.
Lack of a few other indications points to the oversights of the copyist preparing the base text (which would at the same time indicate the copy to be base text for EE1) or of the engraver:
- pair of dynamic hairpins in bars 37-38;
- sempre piano in bar 51.
EE1 includes a clear mistake in bar 8: b
2 instead of a2. Same as in some of the other sources, some of the necessary accidentals are missing, as for example in bar 25 and 56.
