Issues : Different values of chord components
b. 56
|
composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I
..
In the sources, the chord at the beginning of the bar is written monophonically, in spite of varying rhythmic values. Chopin, striving for a maximal simplicity of notation, would often use such notation (cf. e.g. the Etudes Op. 10, in E minor, No. 6, bar 20 i 46, F major, No. 8, bar 47, 49 and 50, C minor, No. 12, bar 57). In the places where the original notation can be improved without an excessive complication of the notation, we introduce relevant corrections. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

In the main text we give the undoubtedly correct rhythmic notation of the middle notes of the chord, transmitted by GC (→GE). Among the remaining versions, the first is erroneous, whereas the second – inaccurate (probably due to a misunderstanding of the notation of [A]). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Different values of chord components , FE revisions |

The version of FE (→EE) is most probably inaccurate – cf. bar 131. In the main text we write the chord in the version of GC using two-part notation, in order to facilitate the interpretation and after the previous bars. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |
