  b. 1

in A (→GE)

in FE & EE

The use of the  time signature is surprising only in EE, as in FE the  time signature was not used in the Etudes even once – contrary to the manuscripts – neither in Op. 25 nor in Op. 10, in the Etude in F minor, Dbop. 36 No. 1 (cf. the Impromptu in A major, Op. 29). Anyways, the correctness and authenticity of the  time signature written by Chopin in A (→GE) is beyond any doubt.
