Issues : Deletions in A

b. 127

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

In AsI, there are 2 versions of this bar – the 1st volta, slightly different from the 2nd volta of b. 111, with a repeat sign at the end, and the 2nd volta, generally compliant with the final text. The repetition of b. 112-127 was initially also present in A, in which, however, Chopin removed it by deleting the bar creating the 1st volta of b. 127 and erasing the 2nd volta marking over the bar containing the ending of the solo part. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A , Changed phrase length |

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete
..
In AsI there are two versions of b. 166-167, marked as 1. and 2. volta, which, in spite of the absence of repeat signs (including the opening one), implies that b. 152-167 are to be repeated. In A these bars are also repeated (the repetition is provided with appropriate repeat signs and with both versions of b. 166-167); however, Chopin removed the repetition in A by crossing out 1. volta and by erasing the 2. volta bracket (incidentally, the crossed-out 1st version is erroneously marked as 2. volta). We reproduce the notation of AsI only in the graphic transcription, whereas in the content transcription, taking advantage of the fact that b. 150-151 and 1. volta of b. 166-167 are identical, we put repeat signs before b. 150 and after b. 165, which allows us to keep the parallel course of the version of AsI and the remaining ones. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Errors of A , Deletions in A , Changed phrase length |

After Variation III, in A there is an earlier version of Variation IV, based on a different textural idea:
After having written down the entire piece, Chopin deleted this variation (without its final tutti) and added its new, final version at the end of the manuscript; moreover, he precisely marked the places in which the added text should be inserted. AsI retains the version deleted in A in an even earlier form, in which certain fragments were being developed a few times.
we discuss separately the version abandoned by Chopin – see Variation IV, initial version. It is also there that the transcriptions – graphic and content – of the notation of AsI can be found. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A |
