It is the longest out of three evident long accents written in A in bars 21, 25 and 27. In FE (→GE1,EE) it was reproduced as three-semiquaver-long hairpins. In subsequent GE, the sign was extended in order to cover the entire length of the semiquaver beam (such kind of adjustments of slurs and hairpins to regular rhythmic groups was a characteristic manner of German engravers, both Kistner and Breitkopf and Härtel).

The long accent in A (→FE→EE2→EE3) was reproduced in GE1 (→GE1a) as hairpins after bar 25. The homogeneity was maintained in subsequent GE, extending the sign even more, for four semiquavers. This arbitrary version was repeated also in EE4. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , GE revisions |

Looking at bar 29, one could wonder whether the hairpins added in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE) were not mistakenly reversed, which was frequent in Chopin's works (cf. e.g. the Etude in C minor, No. 12, bar 53). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Sign reversal |

There is no staccato dot over the 4th semiquaver in A. It is such an evident oversight that its presence in FE (→GE,EE) may be even a result of the engraver's inaccuracy. However, a conscious action of the engraver or Chopin's proofreading also cannot be excluded. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Inaccuracies in A |
