b. 98-99

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Beginning of hairpin in bar 98 in FE

Beginning of hairpin in bar 99 in GE & EE
..

In the main text, we reproduce the hairpin of FE, probably conveying Chopin's notation in [A] in the most faithful manner. Both GE and EE slightly shortened the mark, shifting its beginning under the first note in bar 99.

c2 in FE (→GE1,EE)

b1 in GE2
..

c2 as the last semiquaver in FE (→GE1,EE) is most probably a mistake – cf. analogous bar 251. It is confirmed by the Chopinesque correction performed in pencil in FEJ. In turn, the reviser of GE2 removed the harmonic inconsistency with the L.H. part, yet he did not take into account the melodic structure of the figuration.

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

Accent suggested by the editors
..

An accent appears in an identical context in bar 251. According to us, it is not supposed to suggest a different performance; it is simply a result of a more precise marking of that bar. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest an accent also here.
