Long accent suggested by the editors |
In the main text we suggest a long accent due to the context, typical of such an accent, i.e. a long, syncopated note. In the absence of preserved manuscripts, we cannot verify whether this detail is compliant with the notation of [A], while in Chopin's pieces we encounter numerous examples of inaccuracies (sometimes quite manifest) in the reproduction of long accents by the editions (cf., e.g. the Prelude in F
minor, Op. 28 No. 8, b. 1-2).
