I remember an explanation in general that Chopin, a pianist, often wrote music in terms of how it is played physically, more than in terms of sound. What I mean is that you use certain motions to produce a given sound, and he might write the motions. So for example staccato marks when pedal has been written in underneath. Obviously if the pedal is down, you cannot produce a staccato sound - and in a lot of earlier music, the symbols designated the desired sound. But if you hold the pedal and physically play the notes staccato, you'd get a particular effect that Chopin was after, that as a pianist he knew you'd get. Something like that. Would that make sense here?
Page 2/2, bar 2 & 3: they don't have Staccato (left hand/bass cleff)===> you get a quarter note.. then another quarter note 'tied' to the next Measure 3.Since they're NOT staccato, Do you place the left hand chord twice? or thrice?ANSWER: 2x (Physical Action)..... any of you disagree with this 2x for 'artistic' reasons or otherwise?See attachment here.
