We reproduce the long accents in bars 74 and 76 on the basis of FC, in which Chopin corrected the accents in a few analogous places and he probably added them also in these bars (at least some of them, e.g., the last two in bar 74). The long accents are present also in FE, yet as a whole, the notation of this source seems to be a result of simplified corrections of the original notation with the accents under the part of the L.H. (similarly in bars 78-80). The missing signs in the 2nd half of bar 74 in EE are probably a mistake – see the next note. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FC |

According to us, the visible in EE accents over the 11th and 15th semiquavers of the bar are either a mistake (erroneously placed accents dedicated for the 9th and 13th semiquavers) or a remnant of the original notation (cf. bar 72). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE |

In the main text, we give the accent in bar 79 on the basis of FC, where it could have been written by Chopin (cf. bars 71-75). The sign in bar 77 is probably the original version of the accent, left by inattention, analogous to the signs present in the passages including one bar only, hence we suggest there a long accent based on analogous bars. This is the notation, probably original, that is included in FE in bar 77 and in EE and GE in both discussed bars. The notation of FE in bar 79, used in this context only there, may be erroneous (see also bars 74-76). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Omitted correction of an analogous place , Authentic corrections of FC |

In the main text, we give the accents in bar 78 after the notation of FC, corrected by Chopin. We also apply it in bar 80, overlooked at the time of corrections, probably as a result of the composer's inattention. The versions of the editions are probably inaccurate or inconclusive (cf. bars 74-76). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Omitted correction of an analogous place , Authentic corrections of FC |

composition: Op. 25 No 12, Etude in C minor

The accents in the R.H., present only in FE, could have been added by Chopin in the proofreading of this edition. According to us, it is, however, more likely that Chopin wrote in the base text only the first accent, while in FE it was multiplied, interpreting the repetition signs, used for an abbreviated notation of the following semiquaver groups. Taking this into account, in the main text we suggest only one accent and due to the fact that it closes the regular rhythmic and melodic structure of bars 71-80, we adjust its shape and placement to the previous accents. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , Errors in FE |
