b. 79-91

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  before e1 in b. 79. The accidental was already added in EE & GE3, also in analogous b. 91.

b. 80-93

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

5 short accents in FE (→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)

5 long accents in GE1
..

In the main text we give the accents in b. 80, 81, 84, 92 and 93 as short ones in accordance with the analysis of the notation of FE in b. 67-72. We may consider the notation of GE1, in which we interpret the respective marks as long accents, to be an equivalent variant.

b. 83-95

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

No marks in FE (→GE)

Accents in EE
..

The accents added in EE in b. 83 and 95 may be considered justified: all the remaining, similar motifs (9) are accented, hence there is a possibility that the marks were overlooked. However, we do not suggest a corresponding addition in the main text, since both mentioned bars stand out due to the presence of a triplet on the 1st beat of the bar, which could have somehow changed the Chopinesque hearing of the energy of these bars.

In accordance with the analysis carried out in b. 73-75, in the main text we move the accents in b. 85, 86 and 89:

  • we move the first mark in b. 85 over the L.H. fifth, in accordance with b. 73. The difference between these bars could have resulted from a different layout – the mark in b. 85 was placed next to the notehead, which was a routine action of engravers and could have been performed contrary to the notation of [A];
  • we assign the accent in b. 86 to the R.H., after b. 74;
  • we move the accent in b. 89 over the minim, which is mainly of ordering nature.

We reproduce the long (GE1) or short (the remaining sources) accents in accordance with the analysis of b. 67-72.
