Pages 1 and 2 of the facsimile<\/p><\/div>\n

The University of British Columbia\u2019s Rare Books and Special Collections houses two identical facsimiles of Chopin\u2019s \u00c9tude Op. 10 No. 3 in E Major<\/i> autograph, produced and published by the Robert Owen Lehman Foundation in 1965[1]<\/a>. The piece is reproduced via the collotype printing process to preserve an authentic feel similar to its original autograph. This copy is enclosed in a protective envelope with an additional insert specifying its limited print run, price and seller in English, French, German and Italian.<\/p>\n

Note that this reproduced holograph (pictured above) has the composition date on the top left of the first page: “Paryz 25 sierp. 32” meaning Paris 25 August 1832. Consistent with this piece’s history, the tempo marking underneath is\u00a0vivace <\/em>((It.) vivacious, fast and lively[2]<\/a>).\u00a0<\/em>It is also interesting to consider the cr0ssed-out sections from this autograph and what ultimately did not make the final cut.<\/p>\n

The reproduction of the 1832 autograph has caused some speculation about its origins. Hedley tackles two points of controversy concerning the authorship of the piece and its composition date[3]<\/a>. The first addresses a legend that the piece was composed with the help of Chopin\u2019s friends and publishers. There is, however, no evidence for such a claim, and what we know about Chopin\u2019s character supports this[4]<\/a>. The second concerns its composition date. This precisely-dated autograph handwriting is comparatively different from previous autographs under Chopin\u2019s name. Hedley suggests that since the handwriting on \u00c9tude Op. 10 No. 3\u00a0<\/i>is continuous with Chopin\u2019s succeeding works in the next 17 years and that the previous so-called autographs should instead be rejected[5]<\/a>.<\/p>\n
