Re: When should interpretation should become?
I think that your concern about version 2 was justified. Students tend to exaggerate the shortness of shortened notes.

Re: When should interpretation should become?
Sorry, Schonbergian, I don't quite get the second part of your post, since I don't think I ever referred to either eight note, just the dotted eighth and sixteenth. But if you think that the first eighth note of the pair in the first measure should also be marked staccato, that is certainly possible...

Re: When should interpretation should become?
I don't see exactly why the dotted 8 would be performed shorter, since there is no indication for that. We've had discussions about "unmarked" articulation being shorter in the past here - but that was always in the context of a pre-Romantic piece, generally. I have always understood the ...

Re: When should interpretation should become?
The slurs in example 1 mean to make breaks between the dotted eighths and sixteenths. If that is all you want, then the first example is simpler and therefore better. However, if you want the value of exactly one eighth note, followed by a rest of exactly one sixteenth note, you will need to write i...

Re: "Instructional" editions
As mentioned in a previous post, I think that such editions are very helpful for reference purposes, since it is always good to know the opinion of excellent musicians. And since so many original sources are available online and good urtext and critical editions are so prevalent, and no one is now a...

Re: Composers vs. Engravers: Logic pt 2
Chopin seems to be doing something unusual with several of the slurs in the Etude op. 25 no. 4. Examples 1 and 2 are from the composer's autograph. What can be the logic behind: Chopin Etude op 25 no 4 slurs 1.jpg Chopin Etude op 25 no 4 slurs 2.jpg The slur at * in example 1 overshoots the last not...

Re: Composers vs. Engravers: Logic pt 2
Thanks so much worldwideweary! I really appreciate that. Some of this material will appear in my edition of the etudes. I usually use Maestro or MaestroTimes musical characters of the proper size and position in publications, but as you say, it is pretty convenient to use the ready-made ones here, e...
