b. 286-287

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

 

Accents in EE

Our variant suggestion
..

The accents were added by Chopin most probably in the base text to EE.

b. 286

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

Long accent in A, contextual interpretation

 in A (literal reading→GE)

 in FE (→EE)
..

In A the sign is bigger than the majority of long accents, so it having been reproduced in GE as a  hairpin cannot be considered an inaccuracy. According to us, the context, however, definitely supports a long accent, which is in A in the corresponding bar of the exposition by the way (bar 138). The  sign in FE (→EE) is an example of a frequently appearing mistake, consisting in reversing the direction of a sign – cf. e.g. the Etude in C minor, Op. 10 No. 12, bar 53.

b. 286

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

e2 repeated in A (→GE→FE→EE1→EE2)

e2 tied in EE3

Tie to e2 suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest tying e2, after the Chopin proofreading of FE in the analogous bar of the exposition (bar 138). The tie was added in EE3, most probably on the basis of comparison with the exposition.

b. 286

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

No mark in A (→GE→FE→EE1)

Short accent in EE2 (→EE3)

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest adding an accent on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 138. The second half of this bar seems to have been written less carefully in A – cf. the note on pedalling. The accent was added in EE2 (→EE3), most probably on the same basis.

b. 286

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

No markings in A (→GE→FE)

  in EE

[ ] suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest adding pedalling after indications added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE in analogous bar 138. Such an addition was introduced already in EE.
