It seems that Bertini had a habit of composing Etudes in sets of 25. However,
his Op.32 has only 24 - or does it?

On IMSLP, there are two editions, Litolff and Schirmer, each with 24 Etudes.
But Augener published Op.32 as '25 Studies' with this additional E minor Study
incorporated after the E major Study (No.21).

If anyone knows the background to this discrepancy, I'd be interested to
hear about it, thank you.

Just found these lines on a list of Bertini' studies :

I don't know if it helps.

[Timtin]

Thank you JS. That seems to tie in with what I spotted earlier today,
namely that Op.29 also had an extra Study added to it in some editions.

[Timtin]

Here's the missing Etude from Op.29. Curiously, in my Ashdown Edition,
the order of the Etudes is completely different from those which appear
as a set of 24 in the Peters Edition (and Litolff Edition), available on IMSLP.

Compared with the order in the Peters Edition, the Ashdown order is as follows:
8,7,2,12,(-),3,19,9,17,14,13,16,15,18,11,24,20,22,21,4,5,6,10,23,1.

So, for example, Etude No.2 in the Peters Edition is Etude No.7 in the Ashdown
Edition and the first Etude appears last! The un-numbered Etude (-) in the above
list is the missing Etude, which is in D minor. There are no others in D minor.

Here is an obscure Bertini etude from the Trill etude book.

Bertini, Henri-Op. 177 No. 07-Etude (Allegretto Quasi Andante) ('Etude du Trille')

[Jean-Séb]

Thank you. This study comes from Book E from Nouvelles Etudes, aiming at velocity of the trill and of the left hand. This one is clearly for the trill.
