Original in: The Fryderyk Chopin Museum, Warsaw


  b. 8

 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.
