EE3 - Revised impression of EE2
| Publisher: | Wessel & Co. |
| Date: | ca 1858 |
| Title: | Douze Etudes || No. 24 |
| Dedication: | Mme. la Comtesse d'Agoult |
In EE3 the dedication omitted in EE2 was returned, placed above the note text of the 1st page of the Etude in A
major, No. 1. Among the changes into the note text, it is the revisions introduced on the basis of comparison with the text of GE1 that prevail:
- accents in bar 24 were completed;
- fingering in the L.H. in bar 69 was added;
- extensions of c1 and d1 in bars 78 and 80 were completed and modified;
-
an unnecessary
before B1 in bar 46 was added, as well as a 
before d1 in bar 80.
The corrections mentioned in the last point prove a routine approach of the reviser, who introduced different versions noticed in GE1, without thinking about their aim.
A few other changes could have been introduced on the basis of comparison with analogous places:
- extensions of some of the semiquavers were added, e.g., c1 in bar 24;
- accents in bars 69-70 were added.
The copy presented in mUltimate Chopin comes from a later (ca. 1862) impression, endorsed by Wessel's successor, the Ashdown & Parry company. The changes in relation to the original impression of Wessel (whose copy the editors of mUltimate Chopin did not find) most probably concerned only the details of the cover – above all, the company's name was updated (cf. the cover of the first book of the Etudes).
