@BlazeKenny You're right, but that isn't the point. We can assume that an étude that Chopin wrote at 19yrs should not put Cortot for too much trouble... And apparently it did... because, even when he did not care much about wrong notes, why should he choose to play them if he could easily avoid t...

  @hymntonight. Not just the etudes... (almost) all MM marks (most early 19th for sure) must be regarded as a "schlag" which means 2 "tics'. It was common until mid 19th to use this double beat. In all kind of 'science', also e.g. medicine. Even today our hart"beat' is considered as to consist out...

  @GerardvanR . Dear Gerard, thanks for your comment.

  No, it's very simple. In fact, it is easier since you have the 8th note as a 'tic'. And keep in mind that the metronome was not meant to learn to play strictly in time, but to indicate the correct tempo...

  By the way, the new book of Lorenz Gadi...

  @fluffytom82 That is correct, when you beat a real AB in 4, the tempo remains the same. Of course. BTW, there are several different 1ste editions (Germany, France,...) with small differences. The 19th century edition by Mikuli (pupil Chopin) is very good (some misprints). You must make an interpr...

  @fluffytom82 An AB has the 8th note as fastest note value, not the 16th. Use of the AB-sign + 16th's is typical French 18th century, and picked up in Germany. It is a "mésure à 4 temps vite". Taking 4th note 4/4 bar tempo ordinario, as MM=60, an AB would be half note = 60. This etude is somewher...

  @fluffytom82

  Please note that it is not a theory, but a proven fact that the MM-numbers should be read differently. I recommend reading the recent published book of Lorenz Gadient "Takt und Pendelschlag" (Katzbichler). We might not like to hear this, but so many sources (many of them new to me) ...

  @Tokkemon , no, it is the 8th note which is the fastet basic note value, and this an important factor, in relationship to the bar for the tempo choice.

  Your idea of Beethoven missing our modern "possibilities" is not to be historically documented. Unless you know sources I don't...
