b. 29

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

Long accent in A & FED

 in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The long accent of considerable size over f1, written in A, was reproduced in FE (→GE,EE) as a  mark and referring rather to the R.H. In FED Chopin clearly indicated that he wanted to accentuate f1.

L.H. long accents in A, interpretation

R.H. long accents in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Different accents in GE3 (→GE4)
..

The assignment of the accents either to the right or left hand is unclear in A. According to us, the signs refer to the L.H., as in bar 29. In GE3 (→GE4), the 2nd sign was shortened to the form of a common accent.

No sign in FE (→GE,EE)

In the main text we do not consider the  mark, written in A under the part of the L.H. The mark was omitted in FE (→GE,EE), probably by mistake, yet Chopin added a long accent over the a quaver in a proofreading of FE, which, according to us, should be treated as a replacement of the hairpins of A.

No mark in A

Accent below R.H. part in FE (→GE,EE)

Accent on a proposed by the editors
..

The long accent was added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). However, the mark was printed under the part of the R.H., which is almost certainly a misunderstanding.

 in A & EE4

No sign in FE (→GE,EE3)
..

Omission of the  hairpins in FE (→GE,EE3) is certainly an error of the engraver. The sign of A appears also in two analogous places (bars 4 and 12). The hairpins in EE4 were added probably on the basis of the comparison with these bars.
