sempre - più - animato in bars 34-36 in GE |
The sempre più animato indication occupies over 2 bars (b. 35 is written in an abridged manner) in A (→FC→GE); in FE (→EE) – one and a half. It matters only in the case of GE, in which the dashes marking the range of that indication were overlooked, and it is only in the version of that edition that we reproduce it in our transcription. In A and the sources based on it, the dashes were led to the end of the next line, which in A falls on b. 41, but in FC on b. 40, and in FE even earlier, i.e. on b. 38. Therefore, the shorter range is a patent mistake, both of the copyist and the engraver of FE, hence in the main text we reproduce the notation of A. According to us, however, it cannot be ruled out that a similar mistake was committed also by Chopin, since he wrote the last dash already beyond the bar line ending b. 41, and performing b. 42-45 sempre più animato seems to comply with the culminant nature of the ending of the Prelude.
