Issues : Placement of markings

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

The mark having been placed in FE almost certainly resulted from the routine approach of the engraver of FE, who moved the mark from above the beam to the side of noteheads – such a placement of marks is generally preferred with only one melodic line on the stave (the first trill in this bar is placed in the same manner, which, however, does not influence its meaning). In the discussed place, this version of notation, suggesting that refers to e1, must be contrary to Chopin's intention, which is evidenced by the musical sense, confirmed by the version of notation of GE, based on [A]. In FES the mark was crossed out and written over g1; the right text is also in EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Errors in FE , Placement of markings , Annotations in FES |

It is unclear what caused the difference in the placement of the accents between GE and FE (→EE). One could assume that each version might be non-compliant with Chopin's notation:
At the same time, it means that each version of notation may be authentic; if FE were based on a second autograph, then even both. In the main text we give the notation of our principal source, i.e. FE, which is also supported by:
In the main text we place the accents above the top stave, as it was performed in FE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Placement of markings |

In the main text we suggest accents as written down in EE. This solution combines the most certain elements of the versions of GE1 and FE:
