Arpeggio signs suggested by the editors |
In the main text we suggest arpeggiating the tenths in these bars, since Chopin probably considered such performance of these figures to be self-explanatory while writing A – he did not write any arpeggio in bars 85-92 and in bars 172-179. However, he added respective marks to [FC] or while proofreading FE1 in bars 85-86 and 89-90, undoubtedly also after the analogous bars. In the discussed bars one can ponder whether Chopin considered tenths to be fully analogous to chords spanning a tenth, in other words whether the aforementioned arpeggios added before the chords may be considered to be applicable also here. According to us, they may, which seems to be indicated by the initial version of the discussed bars visible in A, including the then deleted B
notes. This suggests that Chopin considered tenths a variant of chords of a harmonic nature, and not of a performing nature.
