We provide an exact analytical calculation at the two-loop level in theabelian limit of the leading power correction for the C parameter in e+e-annihilation. We compare our results to the numerical value obtained employingthe soft approximation, the abelian part of the Milan factor. We demonstratethat a simple proportionality holds between the leading power corrections tothe C parameter and to the longitudinal cross section in the soft region, andwe verify that this proportionality holds for the full two-loop abeliancontribution computed here. We comment on the possibility of extending thistechnique to other event shape variables and distributions, as well as to thenon-abelian contributions.Comment: 14 pages. Reference added 18/11/9
