Verbal indications

b. 258-259

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

cresc. - - - in A

cresc. - - in GE

No indication in FE (→EE1)

cresc. in EE2

..

As in bars 254-255, cresc. - - was most probably added to A after [FC] had been finished. As there, in GE it was reproduced inaccurately, particularly the dashes marking its range. EE repeated the indication – in a reduced form – after GE1.

b. 276

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

 in A (→GE) & EE2

No indication in FE (→EE2)

..

The absence of  is probably an oversight by the copyist or by the engraver of FE1. It is supported by the presence of cresc. - - - leading to this bar in FE, whose range is identical as in A, as a result of which the possibility that both markings were added independently (cf. bar 101 and 109) is less likely; therefore, it is rather A that is the only original source of the markings.

b. 290-291

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

stretto - - in A

stretto in GE & EE2

No indication in FE (→EE1)

..

The stretto - - indication was almost certainly added to A after [FC] had been finished. Such an explanation for its absence in FE (→EE1) is supported by the fact that in this group of sources the next agogic indications are missing as well, that is più mosso in bar 294 and sempre più mosso in bars 306-309. The oversight of the dashes marking the scope of stretto in GE, a frequent inaccuracy in the Chopinesque editions, seems to be important in this case, since the A notation most probably indicates that stretto is to be applied only over the course of one bar and a half and not, as it could be expected, until più mosso in bar 294. In EE2 the indication was repeated after GE1.

b. 294

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

più mosso from 2nd crotchet in A (literal reading→GE)

No indication in FE (→EE1)

più mosso from first crotchet in A (possible interpretation) & EE2

..

As was the case with stretto in bar 290più mosso was almost certainly added to A after [FC] had been finished. When interpreted literally, the indication begins over the 2nd crotchet in the bar, which suggests that the tempo should be increased only just starting from that place. However, it is uncertain whether it actually corresponds with Chopin's intention, since in his autographs one can quite often encounter the remaining elements of an earlier manner of placing markings within their scope (cf. bar 109), which in this case would require a tempo change already at the beginning of the bar. This is how it was interpreted in EE2, in which the indication, repeated after GE1, was moved to the beginning of the bar. In the main text we reproduce the A notation; however, the EE2 version can be considered an equal variant.

b. 294

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

sempre forte in A (→GE)

in FE (→EE1)

sempre  in EE2

..

In the main text we provide the indication as it is in A, that is in its specified form – Chopin most probably wrote first  before the 2nd crotchet in the bar and then expanded the indication to a form that was supposed to attract the performer's attention to maintain the dynamics, emphasising the triumphant nature of this section.
