Issues : Long accents

b. 470

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Long accent in A

Short accent in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)

..

The mark in A bears all the hallmarks of a long accent. In spite of that, both in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE) it was reproduced as a common short accent, which, according to us, may be considered an acceptable variant.

b. 473

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

Short accent in FE (→GE,EE)

Long accent suggested by the editors

..

In FE, the accent in this bar is clearly shorter than in adjacent bars (there is a similar situation in bar 477). However, taking into account the fact that the note provided with that accent is a delay in the form of an appoggiatura, we suggest a long accent in the main text, more frequent in this context.

b. 475

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

No mark in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Short accent in GE3

Long accent suggested by the editors

..

The missing accent does not have to be considered an oversight in this case – cf. the twin phrases of this three-part progression (bars 473 and 477). Therefore, in the main text we suggest a long accent in accordance with the interpretation adopted in the mentioned bars. An accent (short) was added in GE3.

Long accent suggested by the editors

Just like in bar 473, we suggest a long accent in the main text, assuming an inaccurate reproduction of the Chopinesque mark in [A].

Short accents in GE3

Long accents suggested by the editors

A comparison with analogous bar 487 proves that two ​​​​​​​ marks are supposed to be accents, hence in the main text we give them the form of long accents. In GE3, a more radical change was introduced, since the accents are short, just like in bar 487.
