Issues : Inaccurate note pitch in A

composition: Op. 28 No. 6, Prelude in B minor

We give c1-f1 as the 2nd crotchet of the bottom voice, after A. The version of the remaining sources, c1-g1, is probably a mistake – both of the copyist and the engraver of FE – which could have been provoked by two factors:
The fact that Chopin meant here a f1 is also supported by a stylistic argument – in analog. b. 15, featuring a B minor chord on the 3rd beat (like the discussed bar and unlike similar b. 16 and 20), a f1 was used. On the other hand, the absence of corrections in the teaching copies suggests that Chopin accepted the version with g1 during lessons, which can thus be considered an acceptable variant. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Inaccurate note pitch in A , Errors of FC |
