Issues : Long accents

b. 93-95

composition: Op. 24 No. 2, Mazurka in C major

The dynamic marking in A, interpreted in context

 
..

The interpretation of the   marks  present in bars 93 and 95 in A is not clear: the mark in bar 93 reaches as far as the last quaver of the bar, and the one in bar 95 is only slightly shorter. That notation was reproduced faithfully in GE (→FEEE). However, a comparison with analogous bars 41 and 43 suggests that what Chopin had in mind here were long accents, and this is the interpretation we give in our main text.
