Dynamic markings in A

EE

GE2 (→GE3)

The editors' proposition
..

The dynamic markings in those bars are consistent in the sources as regards their essential meaning, yet they differ in graphic details. For our main text we adopt the version combined from authentic elements of A (the moment of beginning the cresc. in bar 92) and of FE as corrected by Chopin (the extent of dashes delimiting the scope of the dynamic change).

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

accel. in A

accellerando in GE1 (→FE, GE2)

accelerando in EE
..

In EE the agogic indications in those bars were placed between the staves. Chopin's abbreviation accel. was replaced with the full word in GE (→FE→EE). In GE1, GE2 and FE that full-word term was misspelt (double 'l').
