b. 44

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

Wedge in A

No mark in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

The missing wedge in the editions most probably resulted from an oversight by the engraver of GE.

b. 44-46

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

Short accents in A & EE

Long accents in GE (→FE)

Various accents in IE

..

As in bars 40-43, the use of long accents results here from the context rather than from the graphic form of the marks entered into A. Nevertheless, in GE (→FE) they were reproduced as long accents, which we adopt to the main text. The versions of EE and IE resulted from an inaccurate – partially or completely – reproduction of the GE notation.

b. 52

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

No mark in sources

Wedge suggested by the editors

..

The absence of the wedge over the third out of the four chords ending similar four-bar phrases (bar 44, 48, 52 and 56) are to be considered Chopin's oversight, hence in the main text we suggest adding this wedge.

b. 52-53

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

Various accents in A, literal reading

Long accents in GE (→FE)

Short accents in EE

in IE

..

In A the accents differ significantly in terms of their size – the mark in bar 52 is a quite characteristic long accent, while the one in bar 53 corresponds to the atypical marks in bars 40-42. Taking into account the arguments presented there, in the main text we reproduce both as long accents. This is how they were interpreted by GE (→FE). The GE notation was distorted both by EE and IE, although each in a different way.

Long accents suggested by the editors

..

In the main text we suggest adding accents after the previous analogous phrases. Marks – long accents – were added already in GE (→FE,IE), and in EE they were reproduced as short accents.
