Issues : Scope of dynamic hairpins

b. 56-57

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

 
 
 
 
..

The sources differ in the range of the diminuendo hairpins and their positioning. A and FE are compatible in this aspect, as the hairpins include the 2nd half of bar 56 and the entire bar 57. In GE their beginning was slightly shortened, yet in EE both the beginning and the ending of the hairpins was shortened, reaching only the middle of bar 57. In A, FE and EE the hairpins were put over the great stave, while in the other sources they were placed between the pentagrams.

b. 59-60

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

 
 
 
 
..

The sources differ in the range of the crescendo hairpins. In A the beginning is placed under the 1st crotchet in bar 59, while the ending reaches the 1st beat in bar 60. This is the variant we adopt in the main text. In GE the hairpins are slightly moved to the right, while in EE they begin only under the 2nd crotchet. In FE the notation of hairpins was simplified, as they were placed only under the crotchets in bar 59.

b. 69-70

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

The sources differ in the range of the crescendo hairpins. In A the place of their ending is uncertain – the upper arm reaches the bar line, while the lower one reaches the minim in bar 70. In GE the hairpins were placed in entire bar 69. In FE the beginning of crescendo was put under the last quaver of the 1st triplet group, while in EE – at the beginning of the 2nd group. We adopt the notation of A, taking into account the longer arm of the hairpins.

b. 77

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

The sources differ in the range of the dynamic hairpins. In FE the hairpins were slightly shortened in comparison with A (→GE), whereas in EE they begin in the middle of the bar and end on the 1st beat of the next bar. We adopt the notation of A (→GE).

b. 83-84

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

 
 
 
 
 
..

The sources differ in the range of dynamic hairpins. The sign in A in bar 83 seems to be inaccurate, yet FE has the same signs in both bars. We give the hairpins of EE, in bar 84 compatible with A. In GE1 the signs of A were recreated inaccurately, while in GE2 (→GE3GE4) they were homogenised.
