Articulation, Accents, Hairpins

b. 17

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

Wedge in A

Slur in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

The articulation detail written in A could have been overlooked in FE. In spite of this, we prefer the notation of the editions, as in analogous situation in bar 57 Chopin already did not mark the separation of the bass note. The fingering also does not suggest an interruption of the passage's continuity.

b. 18

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

Accent in A

No mark in FE (→GE,EE) 

Our variant suggestion
..

The accent of A could have been overlooked in FE (→GE,EE), therefore, in the main text we give it in brackets.

In EE4 a  mark was arbitrarily added under the figuration in the L.H. (in spite of the authentic dim.).

b. 22

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

 in A

FE (→GE1→GE2, →EE)

No sign in GE3 (→GE4)
..

The  hairpins, written in A in the 2nd half of the bar, were printed in FE – certainly by mistake – under the chord in the middle of the bar. The unnatural in this context detail was removed in GE3 (→GE4).
