Does anyone know of someplace where I can check errata for the Carl Fisher edition of the Melodious Etudes as arranged by Joannes Rochut? I'm specifically interested in etude #59.

The second measure of the second line appears to be notated incorrectly. As written, it's missing one beat. I presume the problem is that the 32nd note triplets should actually be 16th note triplets.

Insights appreciated!

The triplets are definitely the part in question. the 2nd and 5th 8th notes in the measure are notated correctly. I'm pretty sure that the triplets should be 16th notes, and not 32nd notes, as you said.

It's just following an older, outdated notation convention (which wasn't older or outdated in Rochut's time) for tuplets in compound meters.

Ahhhh! I hadn't thought of that.

Yeah, it's pretty clear what the intention was, so should be relatively easy to play.

Now if it was a KALMUS edition, then it would be a different story.
