On my sheet music of "Etude OP. 10-3 'Chanson De L'adieu'" (by Chopin??) there is a box around every B on the lower ledger lines, of the bass clef. Does anyone know what this means?
Thanks.

It might be that some pianos end at the bottom C so you can only play the B if youve got one !

What version are you looking at? I have the Mikuli and there are no boxes around the b's... however, there are accents. Could this be possibly what it is? These accents: ">"

I have seen boxes (square brackets) around notes in orchestral parts (not for piano, but for viola), which indicate that the notes lie below the normal range of the instrument. If it has the same meaning in a piano piece it probably means that you only play the note if it available on your instrument, otherwise just forget about it.

reignmurda, perhaps you can display it as your profile pic and we can access it that way?

reignmurda, have you actually uploaded these pictures to the web or are they on your computer??! I can't see 'em either.

I think I may have seen this where notes were not obligatory... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

You need to upload the images to the internet before linking to them:

www.imagehosting.net

will do it.

Then link to the uploaded version. You have linked to the picture on your H drive, which isn't any good to us: we can't get to it.

I don't know the piece, but generally when I encounter 'boxed' notes in piano music, it's a suggested hand division (usually in long fast runs)
