in FC (→GE) & EE3

No indication in FE & EE1 (→EE2)

The indication of the metronome tempo was added by Chopin in FC in pencil, hence in the last phase of preparing the Stichvorlage manuscripts for print. Differently than at the beginning of the Etude, here the composer added the indication only in this copy. In EE3 it was certainly added on the basis of comparison with GE.
