Thanks, both!
Since I clearly have the attention of some knowledgeable people here :-): in Etude #40 "Andante", the beginning of the 12/8 section is marked "l'istesso tempo," which I looked up to mean "same tempo"; however, this is preceded, albeit in the previous section, by a rallentando, followed by a ritard, with no subsequent "a tempo" before the l'istesso. So, my question is: l'istesso as the original Andante, or as whatever the performer finished the first section at? (Or is it meant to be left to performer's discretion?) Thanks!

Addendum: Actually, I see further on that Baermann implies the answer to my Q: when he returns to common time, he declares "Tempo I," kind of implying that the previous section *wasn't* supposed to be at Tempo 1 (there are no tempo changes in the 12/8 section), so I'm going to assume that l'istesso refers to whatever tempo the performer ended section 1 with.
