b. 2

composition: Op. 28 No. 8, Prelude in F♯ minor
..
In A (→FC) b. 2 is marked with •/• signs as a repetition of b. 1. This raises doubts about whether and which performance indications are to be included in b. 2 (except for the tempo/character marking, of course) – FE (→EE) repeated pedalling markings and slurs, but omitted accents. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Abbreviated notation of A |

In the manuscripts, the 2nd and 4th beats of the bar are written in an abridged manner as repetitions of the 1st and 3rd ones. The editions did not use abbreviations, which resulted in certain misunderstandings or awkward situations in the notation of accidentals – see the next note. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Abbreviated notation of A |

composition: Op. 28 No. 8, Prelude in F♯ minor

From the 2nd R.H. beat in b. 25 on, in A (→FC) Chopin marked the majority of repeated figures in both hands with conventional repeat signs (•/•). The editions did not use the abbreviation, which resulted in an erroneous interpretation of the accents in b. 25-26. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Abbreviated notation of A |
