b. 4-12

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

Crotchets g & G in A

..

In bars 4 and 12 additional crotchet stems were omitted in the editions, perhaps due to a misunderstanding of A by the engraver of FE.

Wedges in A

Dots in FE (→GE,EE)

..

It is unclear whether Chopin wanted the first quavers in this bar to be provided with wedges, as it is in A, or dots, which were printed in FE (→GE,EE). Taking into account numerous inaccuracies in reproducing Chopin's wedges, in the main text we give preference to the notation of A.

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.

Our variant suggestion

..

It is hard to determine whether omitting the  mark in the editions is a result of Chopin's proofreading or the engraver's inaccuracy. In the main text we suggest a variant solution.

End of slur in A

FE (→EE), literal reading

Probable interpretation of FE (→GE)

..

In A the slur reaches only until in the 2nd half of the bar. In turn, in FE (→EE) it goes beyond the last note, as if it were to be continued in the next bar. According to us, both versions of the notation are inaccurate.
