b. 112

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No marks in GE1 & FE (→EE)

L.H. staccato dots in GE2

..

The staccato dots added in GE2 under three L.H. quavers are an arbitrary revision of the publisher. The absence of a respective addition under the last quaver in the preceding bar is not accidental, since in this entire section (to b. 124) dots were added only in every other bar.

b. 112

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

In the main text we add cautionary naturals to d and d2. We also add a dispensable  to f, in compliance with the notation used by Chopin in analogous b. 88; the accidental was also added in EE2 (→EE3).

In the main text in b. 113-124 we reproduce the longer slurs of the principal source, i.e. FE (→EE).

No accents in GE

Long accents in FE, literal reading

Short accents in EE

The absence of accents in b. 113-118 and 122-124 in GE is most probably an inadvertence of the engraver or of Chopin himself. If it were the latter, the accents of FE could have been added by Chopin, e.g. at the stage of proofreading of FE1. The majority of the marks of FE are long accents, although their size is not homogeneous – the marks in b. 116 and 122-124 could have been considered short in a different context. A comparison with b. 87-101 (including short accents) leads to the conclusion that moving certain fragments of the R.H. part an octave higher does not influence the character of the music in the discussed bars enough to use accents of a different length. Therefore, we assume that the longer accents resulted from an inaccurate reproduction of the manuscript basis or Chopinesque proofreading; in the main text we suggest short accents (like the first time). Short accents were also introduced by EE.

Pedalling in GE
