Articulation, Accents, Hairpins

b. 29-30

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor

 in FE (→EE)

GE
..

In the main text we give hairpins after GE, which was based on a probably later autograph, [A2]. Cf. bars 53-54.

b. 34-35

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor

 in FE (→EE)

No sign in GE
..

The hairpins  are the only dynamic indication in bars 33-35 in FE (→EE1). Due to the fact that in the main text we give the markings of GE, we do not consider those hairpins.

The hairpins  are only in GE and EE2. See the adjacent remark.

Two  in FE

 in GE & EE
..

For the main text – as in the remaining similar fragments – we adopt the version based on GE. The version of FE can be considered as an equivalent variant of the notation. EE has one sign, similarly to GE, which results from the interpretation of the signs of FE as the ones marking the continuation of the change of dynamics.

GE

Our alternative suggestion
..

According to the rule adopted in the main text, we give the hairpins  of GE. As an alternative we propose the version which can be considered both an interpretation of the mark in GE and a more precise notation of FE.
