Issues : Placement of markings

b. 21

composition: Op. 28 No. 17, Prelude in A♭ major
..
The missing accent in FC (→GE) and EE are oversights of Fontana and of the engraver of EE. The mark having been moved to the side of noteheads in FE, i.e. in this case under the stave, is a frequent, routine revision; thus, the notation was left without a suggestion – certainly intended by Chopin – to accent the a1 note. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Placement of markings , Errors in EE , FE revisions , Errors of FC |

b. 22-23

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor
..
Just like in b. 18-19 and 20-21, in the main text we give the slur added to the version prepared for print – AF and [AG] (→GE). The slur in FE (→EE) was placed on the side of the noteheads, which made it look like a tie of a. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in FE , Placement of markings , Tie or slur |

b. 23

composition: Op. 27 No 1, Nocturne in C# minor
..
The portato dots are placed below the notes in FE (→EE). Shifting markings to the head side of notes is one of more frequent engravers' mannerisms in Chopin's times. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Placement of markings |

b. 25-26

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major
..
We eliminate the unnecessary second "l" in Chopin's abbreviation acceller. (= accelerando) written in A and put in FE. In EE the division of the word accelerando into syllables is probably an editorial revision. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Placement of markings |

b. 27-28

composition: Op. 25 No 6, Etude in G♯ minor
..
Lack of slur is a patent error of GE1, corrected in GE2 (→GE3). In FE and EE the slur was placed under the notes, which was certainly an arbitrary decision of the engraver – in both editions the stems of the notes are directed upwards, while the slur was routinely moved to the side of note heads. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: EE revisions , Placement of markings , Errors in GE , GE revisions , FE revisions |
