In bars 15 and 19, A has accents on the 2nd beat of the bar. Both marks are drawn with a lighter stroke of the pen than the remaining accents in bars 13-20, which may indicate that they had been entered earlier. This hypothesis finds confirmation in the notation of A in analogous bars 47, 51, 99 and 103, in which accents on the 2nd beat were removed, probably after the accents on the third beat in bars 45-52 and 97-104 were entered. In this situation we consider it very probable that leaving the accents in bars 15 and 19 is the result of Chopin's oversight when correcting A. It cannot be entirely ruled out that the lack of an accent on the 2nd beat in bar 19 is the result of Chopin's correction in GE1 (→FE→EE), although the adding of the sign in GE2 (→GE3) seems to contradict that possibility. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of GE , Omitted correction of an analogous place |
