Articulation, Accents, Hairpins

b. 90

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

3 staccato dots in A & FE (→EE)

No marks in GE1

2 dots in GE2
..

The sophisticated articulation marking – legato in the top voice of the octaves and staccato in the bottom one – was only partially reproduced in GE1. In the proofreading of FE (→EE), Chopin restored staccato in the bottom voice. Two out of three dots were added also in GE2.

 to c3 in A

 to end of bar in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The  hairpin, reaching the topmost note of the motif in A, was adjusted to the last group of semiquavers in the editions, which quite clearly changed its meaning.

 in A

 in GE (→FE→EE)
