Issues : Inaccuracies in GE

In GE, the note D is furnished with a dot despite the fact that a wedge is clearly visible in A. The sign was entirely omitted from FE (→EE) (cf. bar 13 and bars 5 and 9). GE (→FE→EE have only dots as staccato signs in the entire Mazurka. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE |

In those bars, the pedal release asterisks are put in A usually at the end of the bar, after the 3rd crotchet of the L.H. (with the exception of bar 17 and analog. and the 1st volta of bar 32). In GE (→FE→EE) all the signs were printed under the 3rd crotchet which suggests – against A – the need of rhythmic release of the pedal in that moment. The problem also occurs in the second part of the Mazurka. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

It is not clear whether the accent written in A was meant to be a short one or a long one. GE (→FE) has a short accent here, and the inaccurate placement of that mark in FE brought about its erroneous interpretation in EE. However, a comparison with the analogous bars 11, 51 and 59 points to the long accent option as being more probable. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , EE inaccuracies |

In A, the difference in notation of the two R.H. accents in this bar is very pronounced. Nevertheless, the second one - the long one - was in GE (→FE→EE) reproduced as a short one. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE |

We give the precise notation of A, which later underwent gradual distortions in GE1 and FE (→EE): first the omission of the dot and moving of the accent, then lowering of the curved line. As a result, in FE (→EE) the note a is sustained, which almost certainly goes against Chopin's intentions, as changes did not have the nature of corrections at any stage category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |
