Etudes || 7me Étude |

Madame la Comtesse d'Agoult |
A copy of FE3 from the collection of Chopin's works belonging to his pupil Jane Stirling. At the top of the 1st page of the note text, there is a date written by Chopin – 7 Juin 1845 [7 June 1845]. FES includes numerous additions, proving a thorough development of this Etude with Chopin:
-
detailed fingering, starting already from the introduction, ending in bar 64. The majority of the fingering numerals written in pencil by Chopin were then overwritten in ink by the pupil, most probably in order to enhance the legibility and consolidate the composer's notes.
-
indications of dynamic character, e.g., accents in bars 1 and 58 or
in bar 62;
-
pedalling in bars 1-3 and 5;
-
other performance indications, e.g., fermatas in the introduction, connection of the slurs between the introduction and bar 1;
-
deletions and variants facilitating the performance in bars 22, 24 and 52-53.
