Issues : Scope of dynamic hairpins

b. 99

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

The sources differ slightly in the range of dynamic hairpins. In A the hairpins begin under the 3rd quaver and end on the penultimate one. In GE the hairpins were extended on the entire bar. The next editions of GE and EE have shorter hairpins, similar to A, yet moved one quaver to the right. In FE the ending is the same as in A, while the hairpins begin under the 4th quaver.

The sources differ in the range of the crescendo hairpins. The difference is particularly visible in GE as compared to A – in the edition the hairpins were extended to the beginning of the bar. In FE the hairpins begin under the 2nd quaver, whereas in EE – under the 4th one.

The sources differ in the range of diminuendo hairpins and placement of the indication dim. In A the hairpins begin between the 2nd and 3rd quaver, in EE under the 4th quaver, while in FE and GE under the 1st one. Moreover, in GE the range of hairpins was shortened, hence they include only bar 107. We adopt the notation of A and leave the typical for Chopin placement of dim. on an arm of the hairpins.
