The  indication was added by Chopin in GC (→GE). It was most probably similarly in the two remaining Stichvorlage manuscripts of the Etude, serving as base texts for FE and EE.

Placing a metronome marking at the beginning of the Etude in FE is certainly a mistake. This edition adopted – in the entire Opus 25 and in other pieces – a graphical solution consisting in placing indications concerning metronome not above the notes (next to the tempo indication), yet in the indent of the first line of the note text. The rule was applied also here, not taking into account the fact that it is misleading in relation to the different tempo of the first four bars.

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

..

The Allegro con brio indication in GC is written with Chopin's hand. It can also be seen that Chopin deleted Allegro molto con fuoco written by the copyist. In this case the composer ensured that the final version is in all sources.
