While proofreading FE (→GE,EE), Chopin clearly changed the accentuation scheme of these bars. The accents on every sixth quaver, together with a natural support on strong beats of the bar, determine triple beat corresponding to the time signature. Therefore, the removal of two out of three accents written in A eliminated the divergence between the double accentuation and triple beams (see also the note on slurs in bars 1-2). Moreover, the reduced accents – two instead of six in each bar – transform themselves from a generally technical hint into a part of the phrase's shaping. Chopin introduced analogous changes also in bars 17-20. Cf. bars 4 and 5-8. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

A crotchet as the rhythmic value of the upbeat in A could have been related to the original accentuation of bars 1-4, determining the crotchet beat. Moreover, it cannot be excluded that Chopin had in mind a dotted crotchet – cf. minims in the L.H. in bars 1-3 and 5-6, as well as crotchets in bars 4 and 7). In each case a quaver flag in FE (→GE,EE) was probably added by Chopin, therefore we adopt the version with the quaver to the main text (in FE an uncorrected crotchet rest was left in the L.H., which was corrected in GE and EE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors resulting from corrections , Authentic corrections of FE |

It is unclear how to treat the short, two-quaver-long slurs visible in the sources. They do not raise any doubts in A, in which they are compatible with the accents over each sixth. However, after removal of the majority of accents in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE), the slurs seem not to correspond to the new accentuation. The fact of leaving them could have been a compromise, whose aim was to avoid an additional, significant complication of a proofreading. On the other hand, it cannot be excluded that Chopin removed the accents in order not to change their layout, but to avoid exaggeration resulting from double indications. Therefore, having no absolute certainty of Chopin's intention, we suggest a version without slurs as a recommended alternative to the main text from A (→FE). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |
