Long accents suggested by the editors |
The accents in bars 16, 18 and 20 are written in the sources in the most varied way possible (here we discuss only 8 accents, without the 1st accent in bar 18 – see the note in that bar). The corrections visible in FC in bar 18, confirmed with similar changes in analogous bars 24, 26 and 28, prove that Chopin wanted to provide the 3rd and 4th beat of these bars with long accents, placed over the bottom stave. Similar corrections concerning the 2nd beat of the bar are visible in bars 72 and 78. According to us, it most probably meant that in all analogous bars the composer considered long accents placed between the staves to be most accurate, as we suggest it in the main text. Therefore, we consider the short accents in bars 16 and 20 to be the original version, left by inattention.
