I'm using the first C. Rose etude in book 1 for an audition and there are many accented notes under slurs. How should I play them?

Well if I'm not mistaken, doesn't that mean you can play them either or? Those Rose Etudes are like that alot.

These are breath accents, no articulation should be used.
When a detache marking appears under a slur, it indicates less space than a regular detache marking. In the classical definition, detache usually indicates half length, so the added slur might make it a 3/4 length.

Huh.
Melvin, it is definitely not a "your choice" option.
Christopher, I disagree and look to a lively discussion!
In this case I articulate these notes with the tongue with a length close to what you describe: as legato as possible with separation (a heavy legato). Not marcato necessarily, because I don't given them added weight, in measure 7 you're already forte. In measure 15 you are (usually) in the process of crescendo to the downbeat of 16.
I interpret the line to be a phrase line, not a slur line. All of the notes underneath are of the same thought and purpose.
Presuming that those particular markings are in Ferling's original parts, Ferling was not of the classical period!

When I studied the Rose(s), those accents were intended to be "emphasis" or breath accents. I've never interpreted slurs to be phrase markings only, but rather note-to-note without use of the tongue--except when dots are included, then it is "legato" (du, du, du, etc--very smooth) style tonguing. But accents under slurs should always be done with breath emphasis. One exception is when the accent is at the beginning of the series of slurred notes--then tongue it. But during a slur, breath it with your diaphram.
