Issues : Long accents

b. 5-6

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

Long accent in A & EE

Short accent in FE (→GE)

..

In A the accent in bar 5 is significantly longer than the one in bar 6 (similarly in bars 9-10). A minor difference was reproduced only in EE, which is probably a fortuitous coincidence.

b. 9-10

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

Two accents in A

Long accent in FE (→EE)

Short accent in GE

..

In FE the type of the accent in bar 9 (short or long) is not obvious – in GE it was reproduced as short, in EE – as long. In FE (→GE,EE) the short accent in bar 10 was overlooked. In FED Chopin added a long accent in bar 9, confirming the printed sign.

b. 13

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

Short accent in A (→FEGE,EE)

Long accent suggested by the editors

..

The accent in A (and the editions) does not differ significantly from the accent in the next bar. Taking into consideration the clearly less precise notation of this bar in A (graphic layout, missing flats, lack of the dot extending the minim), in the main text we suggest a long accent after analogous bars 5 and 9.

b. 18-20

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

Long accents in A (→FEEE)

Short accents in GE

..

The type of accents in bars 18 and 20 (short or long) is not clear in FE – in GE they were reproduced as short, while in EE as long. We adopt that, same as in A, they are long accents.

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.
