b. 78-90

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato
..
The sparing Chopinesque notation in b. 78 and 90 – no clear indication that the last crotchet still falls within the minim – may be misleading and it actually misled the engraver of FE, who laid out 3 beats of each of these bars as if they were 4/4 bars (see FE in the version 'transcription'). The erroneous layout was not repeated in GE and EE, yet in EE an extending dot next to the g minim was added, which means that the engraver counted four beats in this bar (the erroneous dot was removed in EE2). In the main text, in order to avoid doubts, we specify the mutual relation between the L.H. voices. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

b. 78
|
composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato
..
In accordance with the adopted assumptions concerning the interpretation of the accents in Andante, we reproduce the marks on the 2nd beat of the bar as short in FE (→EE) and long in GE. Both versions can be considered equal. There is a similar situation in b. 90. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

In GE1 the accent on the 3rd beat of b. 78 is slightly shorter than the one on the second; however, the difference is probably of accidental nature – in analogous b. 90 the marks are identical – hence we do not include it in the transcription of this source. The choice of the accent's length is left to the discretion of the performer, since the sources are inconclusive here – just like in the entire Semplice – as to which marks Chopin meant. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato
..
In b. 79, 82, 91 and 94 we give long accents in the main text after the probably authentic long accents in b. 67 and 70. We interpret the marks in FE and GE, which can be read both as short and long accents, in accordance with the assumptions for the entire Andante. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents |
