  b. 1

in FC, EE & GE2 (→GE3)

in FE & GE1

The use of  time signature surprises only in GE1, as FE did not use the  indication in the Etudes – contrary to the manuscripts – even once, neither in Op. 25 nor in Op. 10 and the Etude in F minor, Dbop. 36 No. 1 (cf. also the Impromptu in A major, Op. 29). In any case, the correctness and authenticity of the  time signature is undeniable with respect to the compatible version of FC and EE. The correct time signature was returned in GE2 (→GE3).
