b. 29-30

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

No slurs in AI

Two slurs in FE (→EE,GE1GE1a)

Three slurs in GE2, GE4 (→GE5) & EE3 (→EE4)

Two slurs in GE3

..

Lack of the slur in bar 30 in FE (→EE2,GE1GE1a) must be regarded an inaccuracy, presumably an oversight of the engraver – slurs encompass remaining similar motives in the discussed bars. The lack of the 2nd slur in bar 29 in GE3 is undoubtedly an engraver's error.

Accents in AI

Short accents in FE (→GE,EE)

Differentiated accents suggested by the editors

..

The type of accents written in AI under the semiquavers in the R.H. is not clear. Several clearly longer signs previously visible on this page of the manuscript allow to consider short accents to be more plausible. The accents in FE (→GE,EE) – separately for the L.H. and over the crotchets in the right hand – are short, yet, according to us, the mere fact of separating the accents may mean that Chopin wanted to differentiate between their quality.
