No sign in A1 & EL

in CJ

in CK

in CB

A1 is devoid of dynamic hairpins and accents in b. 5-18, which is a result of the working nature of this autograph. To the main text we adopt a mark that was an attempt to reconstruct [A2] on the basis of its two representations in CJ and CK. However, the interpretation of both is subject to some uncertainty due to the use of abridged notation of the L.H. part and in CJ also due to the lack of synchronisation in the notation of the parts of both hands. Consequently, the versions of both copies, and even the interpretation of CK given in CB, may be considered a potentially accurate interpretation of Chopin's intention. The absence of the mark in EL is probably a mistake.

b. 6

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

No mark in AI & GE2

Long accent in AF & GE1

Short accent in FE (→EE)

..

The shorter bottom arm of the accent in AF caused the mark in FE (→EE) to have been reproduced as short. The absence of the accent in GE2 is most probably an oversight.

b. 6-15

dim. & poco cresc. in FCI

No indications in A (→FCGE, →FEEE)

..

In FCI the identical places in terms of pitch and rhythm were marked differently, which is noteworthy – dim. in b. 6, yet poco cresc. in b. 15, i.e. in an analogous place. The fact that those indications were abandoned in the final version could have been related to the calmer tempo of the Prelude. See also b. 11, 27-30 and 32.

composition: Op. 28 No. 6, Prelude in B minor

Fingering written into FEJ, probable reading

Fingering written into FES

No fingering in A (→FE,FCGE)

Fingering in EE

..

In FEJ the mark referring to the e1 crotchet is illegible. According to us, it may be a fingering digit (2), written instead of a 'one' – it would then be the same notation that can clearly be seen in FES. The 1st finger on e1 in b. 6 visible in EE most probably also indicates that fingering.

b. 6

composition: Op. 28 No. 7, Prelude in A major

Separate slurs in A (→FEEE) & CGS

Overlapping slurs in FC (→GE)

No slurs in CXI

..

The version of FC (→GE) most probably results from Fontana having misunderstood the notation of A – the second phrase mark in this bar seems to begin earlier due to the trace of a quaver beam, showing through from the Prelude No. 8 in F Minor, written on the next page.
No phrase marks in CXI – see the note on b. 1-12.
