Issues : Long accents

b. 3

composition: Op. 28 No. 24, Prelude in D minor

Long accent in A

No mark in FC (→GE)

 in FE (→EE)

..

The missing accent in FC (→GE) resulted from the distraction of the copyist, who overlooked the marks from the entire first line of A. In FE (→EE) this long accent was reproduced as a half-bar diminuendo hairpin, which more or less corresponds to the length of the mark in A, but does not include the fact that it should be placed under the a1 crotchet only.

b. 18

composition: Op. 28 No. 24, Prelude in D minor

Long accent in A (→FC)

in FE

No mark in GE & EE1

in EE2

..

As was the case with b. 3, in A the long accent is placed right under the note; however, in FE it was moved to the right, hence it could be interpreted as a  hairpin. This is how it was reproduced – moving it even further to the right – in EE2 (EE1 omitted the mark). The absence of the mark in GE is most probably an oversight of the engraver.

b. 35

composition: Op. 28 No. 24, Prelude in D minor

Long accent in A (→FE)

No mark in FC (→GE)

Short accent in EE

..

The missing accent in FC (→GE) must be a result of an oversight of the copyist. The short accent in EE is a typical revision of that edition, in which the majority of long accents were interpreted as diminuendo markings or short accents.

Long accents in A

No marks in FC (→GE)

Short accents in FE (→EE)

The missing accents in FC (→GE) are an oversight of the copyist. In FE (→EE) they were interpreted as short accents (like the vast majority of such marks).
