8 long accents in A

Without an accent in bar 42 in GE1

 

7 accents (2 types) in FE

7 short accents in EE

In the main text, we give the unequivocal notation of A – 8 long accents in bars 33-36 and 41-44. In GE1 (→FEEE) the accent in bar 42 was omitted, which was corrected in GE2 (→GE3). In the two last-mentioned editions and also in FE some accents were reproduced as short ones, and EE has short accents only. All those changes result from difficulties in interpreting accent signs of varying length.
