Long accent suggested by the editors |
in
Interpretation of the mark of FE (→EE) is unclear. When interpreted literally, it is a short accent under a tied note, which does not make sense on the piano. According to us, the course of music suggests a long accent on the syncopated g
1-g2 octave as the most likely interpretation of this mark. Alternatively, one could also consider it a diminuendo mark, like it was performed in GE3. The presentation autograph of the Etude in A minor, op. 10 no. 2 abounds in marks of a not very clear meaning resembling short or long accents. Some of them almost certainly denote long accents, which substantiates such an interpretation. See also the adjacent note.
