Issues : Scope of dynamic hairpins

b. 85-86

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

The sources differ in the range of the diminuendo hairpins. In A they begin on the 4th quaver in bar 85 and they end under the 10th quaver in bar 86. In GE the range of the hairpins was simplified, positioning them in the entire space of bars 85-86. In GE2 (→GE3GE4) the ending of the hairpins was specified, as they were shortened by one quaver in comparison with GE. In FE and EE the hairpins were put only in bar 85 and shortened to two middle quaver groups. We adopt the notation of A.

Lack of the cresc. hairpins in A (→GE1) in those bars (and also in bars 90-94) is most probably a result of Chopin's inattention. We give the hairpins after FE, compatible with those which we adopted for analogous bars 83-84.

b. 89

We give the range of the crescendo hairpins on the basis of A. The signs in GE and EE are not much different in comparison with it: the hairpins in EE are slightly moved to the left and in GE they are equally extended on three triplet groups. The sign in FE is clearly different – its beginning is moved under the 2nd triplet group – and incompatible with analogous b. 7, hence it can be erroneous.

b. 90

..

We give the diminuendo hairpins in GE2, GE3, GE4 and EE after the version of analogous bar 8. The clearly shorter mark in FE is probably erroneous. Lack of the sign in A (→GE1) is most probably Chopin's oversight.

b. 90-91

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

 
 
 
 
 
..

We give the crescendo hairpins of FE. At the same time we correct the clearly imprecise sign in the 2nd half of bar 91 on the basis of analogous bar 9.
The signs in EE in bar 91 are probably erroneous – it seems that it is the signs from bar 92 or 94 that were placed here.
Lack of remarks in A (→GE1) is probably Chopin's oversight. In GE2 (→GE3GE4) they were completed according to bars 9-10.
