The often elegant idiosyncrasies of Chopin's (own..) > writing are well known and discussed. ? To misquote Jerry Maguire: SHOW ME THE AUTOGRAPH! Seriously. You can't make remarks about Chopin's notational practices/intentions by referring to anything else (unless you can demonstrate that Chopin supervised the edition you're looking at). Are you saying that you've compared the cited example to Chopin's autograph? Or only that you've read someone who says it's the same? If the latter, I wouldn't trust it. I learned along time ago that lots of things get into print (even from reputable and reliable scholars) that don't hold up under an examination of the actual evidence. So, I simply wouldn't believe any such discussion unless I could see the examples on which it was based. -- David W.
