Long accents in bars 47 & 49 suggested by the editors |
The differentiated source versions of the signs of a dynamic character – accents and – is a result of overlapping of possible mistakes (e.g., no signs in FE in bars 48-49), inaccuracies (short accents in EE) and revision (repetition of the signs from the top stave on the bottom in EE1, addition of an accent in bar 48 in EE2), as well as Chopin corrections. The composer may have added signs in bars 48-49 in GC and he almost certainly completed the notation of EE, by adding in a copy of FE2, being the base text to this edition, an accent in bar 49 (together with cresc. - -). In the main text we suggest indications modelled after the similarly completed version of EE1 in bars 234-237, in which the indications added by Chopin do not interfere neither with the previous ones of FE, nor with the ones added by the reviser.
