Issues : Long accents

The meaning of the mark in GC in not obvious. At the first glance we have a full bar hairpin , which was interpreted as such by the engraver or revisor of GE and notated above the RH part as diminuendo must have seemed more reeasonable. However, the GC notation implies clearly that the mark does not apply solely to LH but the A1-A octave in particular, which also allows it to be seen as a long accent. FE confirms such interpretetation, where the ocatve is marked with a typical long accent. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , GE revisions |

Regradless of the differences in length and placement, the marks in all the sources (except GE1, where there is no mark) clearly fall on the minim on the second beat of the bar, which allows for seeing a long accent here - more or less precisely copied. category imprint: Interpretations within context issues: Long accents |

In bars 607 and 611 in EE, there are (short) accents both in the LH and RH parts. It is uncertain that such a version is authentic (cf. 606-620). The accents in GC (marked in bars 575 and 579) may be interpreted both as long or short. In GE they were read as short ones. For the main text we adopt the long accents of FE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions |

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I
..
The accent, placed in FE (→EE) over the non-played note, must have been inaccurately reproduced. According to Chopin, it could have applied to the b1-b2 octave at the beginning of the bar or to d2 in the bottom voice. In the main text, we adopt the latter, since it interferes with the original notation to a lesser extent (we give a long accent, much more likely in this context). Omission of the mark in GE is probably an oversight. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , Placement of markings |

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor
..
In the main text we present a short accent based on GC (→GE). In EE the mark is placed below the note, which most probably does not correspond with the manuscript. In FE the accent is long and it is uncertain whether it applies to RH only. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents |
