Articulation, Accents, Hairpins

b. 37-38

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

Two accents in GC

Accent in bar 37 in FE

Vertical accent in bar 37 in EE

No marks in GE

..

The accents under the minims of the middle voice of the R.H. are in GC (both) and FE (→EE) – only in bar 37. The missing signs were most probably overlooked as a result of an oversight or misunderstanding.

b. 37-39

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

Slur in bars 37-38 in GC (→GE)

Slur in bar 37 in FE, literal reading

Slur to bar 39 in EE

..

The slur in bar 37 in FE reaches the end of line, suggesting a continuation, however, there is no slur in bar 38. It is certainly a mistake because the slur in [A] looked most probably as the one carefully written in GC. Possibly authentic is also the longer slur in EE – Chopin could have written it while proofreading the basis to this edition.

b. 39

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

Dots in GC (→GE)

No marks in FE1

Wedges in FE2 (→EE,FE3FE4)

..

[A] most probably included wedges, as Gutmann considered them to be staccato dots on a number of occasions (cf., e.g., the Etude in F major, Op. 25 No. 3, bars 49-52). Chopin wedges were actually often misinterpreted as dots also by the engravers, in turn, misinterpretation of dots as wedges was almost inexistent. Therefore, in the main text we give wedges, added in FE2 (→EE,FE3FE4) most probably on the basis of [A].

b. 39-41

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

Dynamic signs in GC (→GE)

Dynamic signs in FE (→EE)

..

It is unknown how the discrepancies between the dynamic indications of the sources based on [A], i.e. GC and FE, occurred. In each of these sources, one can assume both an inaccurate interpretation of [A] and Chopinesque corrections or additions (in the case of FE they would be corrections in [A] introduced already after GC had been finished). In the main text we give the version of the base source (FE4), yet the version of GC may be considered an equal variant.

b. 43-46

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

Two  in GC (→GE)

No signs in FE (→EE1)

 in bar 46 in EE2

..

The  signs in bars 43-44 and 46 were probably added in GC (→GE) by Chopin. The latter was added later also in EE2.
