b. 162-165

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

Short accents in FE (→EE) & GE3

Possible long accent in bar 162 in GE1 (→GE2

..

The type of accents used in FE at the beginning of bars 162 and 165 is unclear – both marks are clearly shorter than the undoubtedly long accents on the 3rd beat of these bars; however, they are longer than the accents in, e.g. bars 175-176. We assume that local relationships are of a greater importance and we reproduce the accents as short ones. In GE1 (→GE2), the mark in bar 162 is shorter than the one in bar 165, yet it is still shorter than the accents in the second halves of the bars.

b. 162

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

Crotchet e in FE (→GE,EE)

Minim suggested by the editors

..

Increasing the duration of the bass note only to a crotchet seems to be insufficient – the bass line is led uninterruptedly further until bar 168. In the main text, we replace this probably inaccurate notation with the one Chopin used in analogous bar 521.

b. 162-163

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Long accent in A (→FCGE1)

in FE (→EE)

in GE2 (→GE3)

..

In accordance with the analysis of the Chopinesque  or  marks in this and analog. pairs of bars (see b. 6-7), in the main text we give the averaged, more or less one-bar hairpin of FE (→EE). According to us, all marks, regardless of their length, are supposed to be long accents.

b. 162-165

Slur in A (literal reading→FE)

Slur in FC (literal reading) & GE3

Slur in GE1

Slur in GE2

No slur in EE

..

There are probably several reasons for the differences in the slurring of these bars. The slur of A (→FE) is probably inaccurate – one can see that Chopin was running out of ink; therefore, one can assume that it was supposed to reach the beginning of b. 165, like in analogous b. 30-33. This is the interpretation of the slur of A that we give in the main text. The slur of FC is clearly erroneous – the copyist reproduced only the ending of the slur of A, falling on the beginning of a new line, despite the fact that the line in A opens with b. 164, whereas in FC – with b. 163. GE1 repeated the notation of FC; however, the slur was led to the beginning of b. 164, which can be considered an interpretation of the slur of FC. GE2 regarded the slurs of FC and GE1 as erroneous and replaced them with a slur modelled after b. 30-33. GE3 generally returned to the version of FC, yet the beginning of the slur was placed in b. 162, which does not affect its meaning.

b. 162

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

..

The autographs are lacking in cautionary accidentals in this bar. In FE (→EE) a  was added before the d crotchet; the sign is also present in GE. Moreover, in EE was added before the ccrotchet. In the main text we include both accidentals.
