Quavers in AI & GE

Dotted rhythm in AF (→FE→EE)
..

In the main text we give the dotted rhythm of AF (→FE→EE), whose nature corresponds to a Chopinesque improvement. The g2 minim preceded by two quavers somewhat fades into the wave of the crescendo, which reaches its climax thereupon. In turn, preceded by a dotted rhythm, it additionally becomes an important signal, suggesting a breakthrough in the course of music. It seems that the details of the dynamic indications correspond to this difference, i.e. the range of the  hairpin and the presence/absence of a long accent.
