Issues : Long accents
b. 618

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I
..
Like in bar 618, one can assume that the mark placed under a tied, hence non-played note, was placed inaccurately. We suggest two possible interpretations of the mark:

b. 619

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

For the main text we adopt the FE long accent. Chopin many times emphasised a falling minor semitone motif, e.g. in Polonaise E, Op. 22, b. 119. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor
..
In the main text the chord are covered with long accents based on EE and FE. The GC notation is not completely unclear, however it seems more probable to read the marks as short accents. Such is the interpretation of GE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor
..
Just like in the previous three bars, in the main text we present long accents as the same can be found in EE and FE, while the GC notation is ambiguous (GE has short accents). Moreover, bars 634-642 have the same shape in every source. In GC the marks are notated above the LH octaves. It seems little probable this is not consistent with the autograph. However, in GE the accents are notated below the octaves, which makes us cautious when it comes to evaluate the remaining sources, where the accents are placed between the staves. No accents in bars 639, 641-642 in EE might have resulted from negligence. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

In GC (→GE) and EE, the marks, despite some differences, undoubtedly apply to both C major chords in these bars. We believe they represent a long accent spanning the two chords. The mark in FE is a typical long accent characteristic of this edition. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |
