Articulation, Accents, Hairpins

b. 111-112

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

Short accents in FE (→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)

Long accents in GE1

Long & short accent suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest differentiated accents after analogous b. 67-68 and 70-71. In the face of uncertainty concerning Chopin's intention as to the type of the accents used, the remaining versions can be considered equivalent variants.

b. 113

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

No mark in FE (→GE)

Short accent in EE
..

In terms of music, the accent added in EE is very justified: cf. analogous b. 96. However, it is absent in FE (→GE), and we keep this sparing notation in the main text believing that Chopin could have imagined this short recall of the Semplice section at the end of the piece with subdued, more delicate accents.
