Issues : Long accents

We consider the marks written in A under the chords in bars 4 and 12 as long accents. Only first of them was reproduced in FE (→EE2). In GE the sign in bar 4 became a common short accent and in bar 12 both chords were provided with staccato dots. In EE3 (→EE4) a short accent was added in bar 12. According to us, only the version of A is authentic. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

EE2 does not have the accent added in EE3 (→EE4) together with staccato dots under the quavers (probably by analogy with bar 15). In GE a short accent was applied and moved over the crotchet. In the main text we preserve the notation of A (→FE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Placement of markings , Errors in EE , GE revisions |

The staccato dots under the quavers were added by Chopin while proofreading FE (→GE,EE). In GE a short accent was applied, moreover, in GE1 (→GE1a) and again in GE5 the mark was moved over the crotchet. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Long accents , Placement of markings , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

According to us, three signs in bars 17-18 and 21, written by Chopin during a proofreading of FE, are long accents and they refer to b1 notes of appoggiatura nature in the L.H. This kind of motifs are often to be found in Chopin's works, e.g., in the Nocturne in G minor, Op. 37, No. 1, bars 1-2 and analog., the Polonaise in E major, Op. 22, bars 111-112 and analog. In the editions the signs are longer and aligned rather under the R.H. The fact that the engraver of FE not always correctly recreated Chopin's entries is proved by distorted accents in the Etude in A minor, No. 2, bars 8 and 12. In the main text we also suggest to add the mark in bar 22. In A the b1 notes in bars 17-18 and 21-22 were written instead of the original a1 notes.

According to us, the mark added in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE) is a long accent, misunderstood by the engraver. Cf. the Etude in A minor, No. 2, bars 8, 12 and 17. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |
