Issues : Long accents
b. 8
|
composition: Op. 10 No 2, Etude in A minor
..
In the main text, according to the entries written by Chopin himself in FEcor and Ap, we give the long accent mark over the 2nd crotchet in the L.H. In FE (→GE,EE) it was given a form of a hairpin on the 1st beat of the bar, which totally changed its meaning. In the next proofreading Chopin brought back the stress on the E-e octave by adding this time. According to us, it was an ad hoc intervention, forced with an erroneous interpretation of the intended by Chopin accent's mark, which is more compatible with the whole of dynamic markings of the Etude (a comparison of Ap with the final version shows that while preparing the Etude for printing, Chopin made a careful selection of the marks; he would often discard marks, among others; cf., e.g., bar 4). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in FE |

From the graphic point of view, it is hard to consider the accent in A as long, however, it cannot be excluded that in this place the composer's intention is rendered better by the sign of AI. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

The long accent over the d1-b1 sixth in bar 8 and the hairpins in bar 9 were added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). The composer replaced with them the previous sign in bar 8, written in A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Authentic corrections of FE |

Same as in the previous bars, the accents are a result of Chopin additions in GC and (most probably) in the base text to EE. The first two signs are clearly longer, however, according to us, it follows from the intention of clearly writing the signs overlapping the slur. The missing second one in GE1 is most probably an oversight (cf. the note concerning the chord in the L.H.), yet it is hard to state what was the reason of omitting this sign in EE.
