In A one can see that Chopin initially wrote sempre piu stretto as an agogic indication for this eight-bar section (over the top stave). According to us, cresc. between the staves was written at the same time, which is indicated by the fact that both indications begin at the same moment of the bar. Chopin then decided to merge both indications by deleting sempre piu stretto above and adding stretto e before cresc. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A |

In A (→FC) b. 756 opens a new page, while the phrase marks, both in b. 755 and 756, suggest continuation. Therefore, it is no wonder that all editions combined them. On the other hand, the passage beginning in b. 756 is strictly opening (cf. its previous appearances in b. 49 and analog. and 716 and 720), so one can assume inaccuracy of notation, particularly in b. 756. Such phrase marks, written with a flourish, can be frequently encountered in Chopin's autographs, e.g. in b. 589 and 597, where their meaning is, however, unequivocal. Taking into account the above, we suggest two alternative solutions in which the phrase marks are not combined. category imprint: Editorial revisions |
