Longer  in AsI

 in A, literal reading

 in A, contextual interpretation

 in GE (→FE,EE)

The position of the  marks in A is not homogeneous as part of the recurring  and  set. According to us, these small differences result from inaccuracy of notation, since it is unlikely that such precise indications were supposed to additionally suggest some elusive performance differences. Due to the above, in the main text we standardise them:

  • we place  inside the  hairpin, as Chopin did it the second time,
  • we average out the position of  with respect to the notes – when interpreted literally, the first time it falls under the 2nd semiquaver of the triplet, while the second time – under the first one.

In GE (→FE,EE) the combination of a  with a  was reproduced with minor deviations – the first  was moved under the 3rd note of the triplet, while the second  was shortened, so that it did not intersect .

One  mark in AsI is the first attempt to write dynamic markings in this bar.
