Articulation, Accents, Hairpins

b. 48-49

composition: Op. 10 No 11, Etude in E♭ major

  in A

EE
..

In the main text we give the range of hairpins after A, as the minor shifts, to which they were subject in the editions, each time result from an inaccurate interpretation of the base text.

b. 50-51

In the main text we give the pairs of dynamic hairpins after A. We interpret the very short marks at the end of the bars, resembling accents, as diminuendos due to the analogy with motifs in bars 1-2 and analog. In the editions only the  marks were considered, which, according to us, is an arbitrary decision of the engraver of FE, stemming from a misunderstanding of the manuscript. The range of these marks were subject to further distortions in GE (minimal) and EE.
