b. 5

composition: Op. 28 No. 12, Prelude in G♯ minor

..

FE1 has no  before the 2nd L.H. crotchet. The mistake was corrected in FE2 (→EE).

b. 7-9

composition: Op. 28 No. 12, Prelude in G♯ minor

3 slurs in A, literal reading

3 slurs in A (possible interpretation→FEEE)

Continuous slur in FC (→GE)

..

The slur over b. 8 encompasses in A 5 top-voice quavers. However, according to us, it is possible that Chopin meant a whole-bar slur, as reproduced in FE (→EE). The slurring of FC is definitely incompatible with the notation of A, although the situation between b. 8-9 is ambiguous in the copy – the slur in b. 8 (at the end of the line) suggests that it should be continued, whereas the slur in b. 9 rather does not. However, as b. 9 is not written out with notes, which impedes a reliable evaluation of the placement of the beginning of the slur, we take into account the ending of the slur in b. 8. This is how it was interpreted in GE too.

b. 9-10

composition: Op. 28 No. 12, Prelude in G♯ minor

Accents in A (→FC,FEEE)

No marks in GE

..

The abridged notation of these bars in FC creates confusion in the application of performance marks – accents, cresc., pedalling. We assume that the notation is compliant with the notation of A (except cresc.); however, GE interpreted it differently – the accents were omitted, and the pedalling marks were repeated.

No pedal markings in A (→FC,FEEE)

Pedalling in GE

..

The pedalling of GE resulted from the vague, abridged notation of these bars in FC – see the note above.

b. 10-11

composition: Op. 28 No. 12, Prelude in G♯ minor

cresc. in bar 10 in A (→FEEE)

cresc. in bar 11 in FC (→GE)

..

B. 10 is written in FC in an abridged manner as a repetition of b. 2, and the cresc. indication present therein was written in b. 11, perhaps to remind us that the dashes concern that very mark. GE, however, considered that version binding instead of the indication in b. 2 (10) and reproduced it literally, omitting the beginning of the crescendo in b. 10.
