Articulation, Accents, Hairpins

b. 20

composition: Op. 10 No 9, Etude in F minor

No mark in AI

Long accent in A & EE

Short accent in FE (→GE)
..

The unambiguous long accent in A was interpreted in FE (→GE) as short. However, the mark in EE may be regarded as long.

issues: Long accents

b. 24-25

composition: Op. 10 No 9, Etude in F minor

No marks in AI & FE (→GE,EE)

Wedges in A

Our variant suggestion
..

According to us, it is highly unlikely that the wedges over d1, which are present only in A, were deleted in FE (→GE,EE) on purpose. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a possibility of considering them.

b. 28

composition: Op. 10 No 9, Etude in F minor

No sign in AI & FE (→GE,EE)

 in A

Our variant suggestion
..

According to us, lack of the  hairpins in FE (→GE,EE) is probably a result of the engraver's negligence. However, it is not entirely clear, therefore we leave the inclusion of this mark to the performer's discretion.

b. 31

composition: Op. 10 No 9, Etude in F minor

4 staccato dots in A (→FE→GE1)

3 staccato dots in EE & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)
..

The dot over the last octave is, according to us, Chopin's mistake in A (→FE→GE1) – cf. the analogous motif in bar 59. The dot was removed in EE and GE2 (→GE3→GE4). In AI there are no indications in this bar.
