b. 92

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

Lack of the accent in A (→GE1) may be considered as a probable Chopin's oversight. In GE2 (→GE3GE4) a short accent was already added; it also appeared in FE and EE. We give the long accent after the analogous place in bar 10 in A.

The crescendo and diminuendo hairpins in bars 93 and 94 differ slightly in their range. A (→GE1) completely lacks dynamic indications in those bars. The hairpins were added in GE2 (→GE3GE4) after analogous places (bars 11-12). In EE both crescendo hairpins in bar 93 are missing.

In A Chopin omitted the accent's sign, which was recreated in GE. A short accent was added in the next editions from GE2, as well as in FE and EE. We give the long accent after the analogous place in A in bar 12.

The crescendo and diminuendo hairpins in bars 95-96 differ slightly in their range. In A the beginning of the dim. hairpins is written in a way which can suggest their beginning still in bar 95 – they are clearly extended in the new line. GE1 lacks the dynamic marks in bar 96. They were already completed in GE2 (→GE3GE4). FE is lacking crescendo in bar 95, whereas EE is lacking diminuendo and crescendo in bar 96.

b. 97

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

The sources differ in the range of dynamic hairpins. In A Chopin wrote the hairpins from the beginning of the second triplet group and clearly led its ending under the penultimate quaver in the bar. It was reflected in GE2 (→GE3GE4) and FE. In GE1 the hairpins were extended on the entire bar. In EE the beginning is concordant with A, while the ending was slightly shortened, to the 10th quaver.
