In the main text we give the hairpin entered by Chopin into FC (→GE). The exact range of the mark is questionable: it is written in b. 294, the last one in line, and clearly goes beyond the bar line; however, there is no continuation thereof in b. 295. We assume that it marks the same range as in analogous b. 375-376 & 396-397, in which the hairpins in FC were also added by Chopin. GE1 omitted the mark (the engraver could have been uncertain how to interpret the described notation), whereas GE2 (→GE3) provided the hairpin with a longer range, modelled after b. 273-274, which seems less justified, since:

According to us, the presence of an additional slur over the middle R.H. voice is related to the crossings-out visible in A related to the changes of layout: the voice was originally written on the bottom stave. The crossings-out separated the c1 minim from b, which probably prompted Chopin to enter a slur that would emphasise the course of the melodic line. This assumption is confirmed by the notation of the remaining three analogous places, which are devoid of both crossings-out and such a slur. It would be somewhat a special case of a mistake (unchecked effect) caused by a correction. Taking into account the above, in the main text we do not give that slur. It is also absent in FC: Fontana could have assumed that the slur, going through a crossed-out area, was also crossed out. Another possibility is that Chopin could have added it in A after having drawn up FC (it could also have been a common oversight). Anyway, Chopin did not add a slur upon seeing those bars in FC without one; however, he added a hairpin. As he added a hairpin also in the three remaining analogous places, according to us, we can assume that it was that way of drawing attention to the sequence of the middle voice that he considered most proper and hence forwent additional slurs. The slur in GE1 is a result of a mistake: the engraver misinterpreted the tie of e1.

The missing tie of g in FE (→EE) and the one of e1 in GE1 must be mistakes of the engravers: in both cases it was a motivic slur in the next lower voice (see the notes below) that was printed instead of a tie. In FE it is also the notation of the tie of e1 that is inaccurate: the correct tie is present only in b. 294, which ends the line. GE2 (→GE3) added the tie that had been overlooked in GE1. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |
