b. 395

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

Accent on a² in FE (literal reading→EE)

Accent on b¹ in GE

Long accent on b¹ in FE, possible interpretation

The meaning of the accent of FE (→EE) placed under a², at the pitch of b¹, is unclear. When interpreted literally, it is a short accent on a², which we give in the main text. However, it is possible that we are dealing with an inaccurately reproduced long accent under b¹ (cf. the notation of some of the accents in the Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21, the 1st mov., bars 4-5 or in the Etude in A Minor, Op. 10 No. 2, bars 45-46). The latter is supported by an analogy with the previous bar. The mark was similarly interpreted in GE.
