Issues : Long accents
b. 6-7
|
composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor
..
The analysis of the or markings, written by Chopin in A in these and analogous bars, leads to the conclusion that, despite significant differences in length (from a long accent to a two-bar hairpin), all of them most probably denote long accents. Due to that reason, in the main text we decided to unify them; we adopted a compromise marking, which is more or less one-bar long. In the remaining sources Chopin did not interfere with the shape of those markings. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , Scope of dynamic hairpins , GE revisions |

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. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in A |

In A all accents in b. 6, 8 and 14 are clearly long, which, however, was misunderstood both in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccuracies in FC |

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor
..
The long accent entered into A was quite accurately reproduced in FE; however, GE and EE considered it vague and reduced to a more typical form, i.e. a diminuendo hairpin in GE and a common short accent in EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , EE inaccuracies |

EE2 does not have the accent added in EE3 (→EE4) together with staccato dots under the quavers (probably by analogy with bar 15). In GE a short accent was applied and moved over the crotchet. In the main text we preserve the notation of A (→FE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Placement of markings , Errors in EE , GE revisions |
