No marks, interpretation of Atut suggested by the editors |
According to us, the wedges with which the accompanying chords in the L.H. were provided in FE (→GE,EE) are a result of misunderstanding the notation of Atut in bars 26-27, where the repeated chords are written in an abbreviated manner as minims with quaver tremolos. Willing to draw the attention to this abbreviation, Chopin marked the individual quavers with dashes, which he then tried to transform into dots, generally used for this purpose. This measure turned out ineffective, whereas the engraver (reviser?) not only included the wedges, in spite of renouncing the abbreviation, but he also propagated wedges in bar 25. However, since the wedges do not mark articulation, they are superfluous and misleading in a notation that does not make use of abbreviations. Taking into account the above considerations, we do not include them in the main text.
