b. 2-11

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

No marks in AI

Dots in FE (→GE,EE)

..

In AI, the staccato articulation of the quavers, separated with rests, accompanying the semiquaver figuration (in bars 1-3, 5-6, 9-11), is marked only in bars 1 and 5. There is no doubt that the dots written there are to be understood as a model, hence valid also in the remaining bars.

b. 3

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

No marks in AI & EE2

Uniform accents in FE (→GE)

Different accents in EE3 (→EE4)

..

EE2 omits accents, which was corrected in EE3 (→EE4), by changing the signs in the 2nd half of the bar for vertical accents.

b. 8

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

 in AI

4 accents &  in FE (→EE)

3 accents &  in GE

Our alternative suggestion

..

The indications of AI were changed in the version prepared for print, certainly with the participation of Chopin. Therefore, in the main text we give the version of FE (→EE). However, some of its elements can raise certain doubts, particularly the  hairpins and the last accent, overlooked in GE. Therefore, we alternatively suggest a certain interpretation of the notation of FE, based on an assumption of an inaccurate reproduction of Chopin's intention by the engraver.

b. 9-11

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

 in bars 10-11 in AI

 in bar 9-10 in FE

 in bar 9 in GE

 in bar 9 in EE

..

The hairpins of AI, leading to  in bar 11, is an earlier concept of dynamic indications. In the main text we stick to the version of FE, reproduced with minor inaccuracies also in GE and EE.

b. 11

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

No mark in AI & FE (→EE2,GE1GE1aGE2GE3)

Long accent in EE3 (→EE4)

Short accent in GE4 (→GE5)

Long accent suggested by the editors

..

We suggest to add an accent after the sign in analogous bar 61. In similar contexts, the crotchets at the end of bar are always accentuated – cf. bars 16, 18, 20, 22 and 25-26. The addition – probably on the same basis – was introduced already in EE3 (→EE4) and GE4 (→GE5).
