b. 34

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

Wedge in AI

Dot in FE (→GE,EE)

..

According to us, the dot in FE (→GE,EE) does not give certainty as to which sign Chopin used to mark staccato in [A]. The Etudes and other pieces provide numerous examples of inaccurate interpretation of Chopin wedges.

b. 35-36

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

Three accents in AI

Seven long accents in FE (→EE)

Differentiated marks in GE1 (→GE1aGE2)

Longer  in GE3

Shorter  in GE4 (→GE5)

..

The accents, written in AI only in bar 35, most probably are to be considered as a model. It is confirmed by seven signs visible in FE (→GE,EE). The signs in FE (→EE), despite varied length and imprecise arrangement, are certainly long accents. In turn, it is not clear in GE, in which there is a visible tendency to extend the signs.

b. 35

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

No mark in AI & EE2

Wedge in FE

Two wedges in GE & EE3 (→EE4)

..

Lack of the wedge in EE2 is certainly a mistake. The wedge in the L.H. is most probably a revision of GE and EE3 (→EE4).

b. 37-38

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

No marks in AI

Accents in FE (→GE,EE)

..

Lack of accents in AI is only a simplification of notation – the accents from bar 33 most probably are valid also here. Cf. bar 34.

 in AI

No sign in FE (→GE,EE)

Our variant suggestion

..

It is hard to assume that the omission of the crescendo mark or verbal indication was intended here by Chopin – cf. the analogous phrase in bars 33-34. Therefore, in the main text we suggest the  of AI.
