Metronome marking with time signature in GC (→GE)

Metronome marking at start of Etude in FE & EE
..

Placing the metronome indication already at the beginning of the Etude may be a result of the routine interpretation of the engravers of FE and EE who did not see a reason to separate it from the Lento indication. Cf. the Etude in A minor, No. 11, bars 1-5.

Chopin may have added the pedalling of this bar in all Stichvorlage manuscripts (certainly in GC, in which Chopin's hand is easily recognisable). However, he did not coordinate his entries – hence the differences between the sources. In the main text we give the most accurate indications of FE.

In EE the  sign was placed only under the e1 minim, which is certainly a result of misunderstanding of the authentic notation.
