Re: PPP
That is something. Thank you for the excellent specific example. According to Sandra Rosenbaum Performance Practices in Classic Piano Music , Beethoven used mp, p, pp, ppp, mf, f, ff in his 32 piano sonatas and more soft dynamics than loud. According to her the first use of ppp in his piano music is...

Hmmm...very interesting.

Re: Chopin contradiction?
Thank you again for your observations on this. What I do is imagine that I am composing it, and how would I do that. Possibly Chopin didn't view it as a problem at all. If he had made a slur between the F# and E#, then I could see the decrescendo applying to it. But he didn't, which I take to mean t...

Re: Distance between piano staves
I'm an artist, I only notice what is ugly. If by "forced apart" you mean not required to all be a standard distance from each other, I couldn't agree more. Many publishers feel compelled to make piano systems as uniform as possible, but I think that does a disservice to the people who'll b...

Re: Chopin contradiction?
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. For me the passage is still unresolved if the end of the decrescendo appears with a Fz. There are two opposing events here. One is the RH chord - specifically the F# - diminuendo into the E#. The other is the LH arpegg crescendo into the same E#. I play the E# ...
