b. 68-69

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

3 long accents in A (→GE)

Short accent in FE (→EE1)

3 short accents in EE2

1 or 3 accents suggested by the editors

..

The version with one accent is almost certainly authentic – the lack of further marks could be an oversight, since the same difference occurs in analogous phrases in bars 155-156 and 235-236. On the other hand, it is uncertain which version is later – Chopin could have added the 2nd and 3rd accents in each of the phrases to A after [FC] had been finished or could have removed them in the copy or while proofreading FE1. It is also likely that all accents were added by Chopin as complements – both in A and in [FC] or FE. If the first option were true, the later one (final) would be the A version; if the second option were true – FE; if the third option were true – both should be considered on an equal footing. In this situation in the main text we adopt a variant solution. As far as the differences in the length are concerned, the only reliable source is A, in which the accents are undoubtedly long. The versions with short accents resulted from the engravers not differentiating between the two types of Chopinesque accents.

b. 68

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

agitato in A (→GE) & EE2

No indication in FE (→EE1)

..

In the main text we give agitato, probably added by Chopin to A after [FC] had been finished. On the basis of GE1, it was also added by EE2.

b. 69

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Pedalling in A (→GE) & EE2

No markings in FE (→EE1)

..

The missing pedal markings in FE (→EE1) almost certainly resulted from an oversight by the copyist or by the engraver, in this bar – unlike in the preceding one – not corrected by Chopin. The marks of EE2 were added after GE1.

b. 69-71

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

cresc. from b. 71 in A (→GE)

cresc. from b. 69 in FE (→EE)

cresc. from b. 69 or 71 suggested by the editors

..

The crescendo starting earlier in FE (→EE) could be explained by, e.g. Chopin's correction in [FC] or by both variants having been added independently to A and to the copy (or at the stage of proofreading FE1). In later appearances of this phrase (bars 156-158 and 236-238) in all sources crescendo begins earlier than here (as marked by Chopin in A). Due to this fact, in the main text we suggest a variant solution, including the FE version, with a possibility of crescendo beginning later (as in A).
