Amar - Autograph fragment of March
| Date: | 28 IX 1837 |
| Title: | Lento cantabile |
| Dedication: | None |
Autograph of an eight-bar fragment, embracing bars 31-38 of the final version of Marche (the first eight-bar section of the D
major part), known from a photography (the original is unavailable). The fragmentary character of Amar is unquestionable – Chopin wrote "etc." after the last bar, however, it is not obvious that at the moment of writing it, the whole was already valid as the middle part of Marche funèbre in the form known to us. In the autograph itself, nothing indicates this possibility.
The text of Amar marginally differs from the version of [A], reconstructed on the basis of GC and FE1:
- the grace note in bar 3 is the only audible difference in the pitch and rhythm. Its presence in Chopin's autograph is confirmed by the composer's participation in preparations of EE – cf. bar 33;
-
in bar 7 the second quaver is written as an f and not e;
- in bars 1-3 the pedal is changed each half bar; one can see a deletion of such a change in bar 4.
