Text Compare Notes Sources Description

Issues : Long accents

b. 4

composition: Op. 25 No 7, Etude in C♯ minor

No mark in GC (→GE) & EE

Long accent in FE
..

The exclusive presence of the accent in FE suggests that it was added by Chopin in the proofreading of this edition (or still in the handwritten base text). The length of the accent is indicated by its placement to the right from the note. Similarly in bar 8, where the sign is not only moved, but also longer.

Short accent on d1 in FE & EE

Possible long accent
..

The sign in GC does not seem to be an accent on d1 – it is clearly placed between the notes, rather closer to the c1 quaver and it is clearly symmetrical in relation to the  hairpins in bar 23. Short accents visible in this place in FE and EE suggest, however, a possibility of an inaccurate reproduction of the notation of [A] by Gutmann. Therefore, we suggest a long accent as an alternative interpretation of the notation of all sources.
