Articulation, Accents, Hairpins

b. 678

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No mark in A (→FE→EE)

 in FC (literal reading→GE1)

Short accent in GE2 (→GE3)

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

According to Chopin, this bar is supposed to be a repetition of b. 227. Due to the reasons discussed in the note concerning that bar, in the main text we interpret the mark written there by Chopin as a long accent. A similar solution was adopted also in GE2 (→GE3).

In the main text we give a  hairpin, written by Chopin in FC (→GE1) in b. 230 (the discussed bar is a repetition thereof). Just like there, subsequent GE arbitrarily shortened the mark and moved it over the top stave.
