Dots on 2nd quavers in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Dots on pairs of quavers in GE3

We present circumstantial evidence on the basis of which the notation of FE with a staccato dot on the 2nd quaver only of each of these bars should be respected:

  • compliant notation in both bars;
  • proofreading of articulation of the theme in the solo part in bars 17 and 29 – according to us, the original slurs prove that the 2nd quaver, together with the following accented crotchet, creates a micro-motif and should be emphasised as an element initiating a new act of energy;
  • wedges in violin I in FEorch (→GEorch) in bars 112-113. Those bars are not fully analogous to the discussed ones; however, the notation confirms the distinct articulation of the second quavers and their initial nature within the micro-motifs of the theme.
