First Rose etude--mistake?

Author: alex.

In both the Carl Fischer edition I have (reprint of what seems to be the 1913 edition) and a pdf that says "copyright 1952 Daniel Bonade" that I found online just now, measure 15 appears to be 5 quarter notes long. (And to show you what a dweeb I am, I've been butchering this etude for months, not paying any particular attention to this measure, only to pull out a metronome for the first time today and notice something was awry...)

Is it fixed in any in-print edition? And, if so, what's the fix? I've been instinctually playing two triplets instead of six 8ths to finish the measure.

I believe that since the last 6 notes are in groups of 3, they should be triplets. Usually, if they're grouped in threes, it implies triplets even without the little number above or below the notes. So You've actually been playing it right

Good instinct!

The revised and corrected edition edited by Melvin Warner shows those notes as triplets, so your instinct was right.
