  b. 107-108

5 long accents in GC, FE & EE

6 long accents in GE1

6 short accents in GE2 #→GE3)

Same as in bars 5-6, stating which kind of accents Chopin had on his mind poses a difficult challenge. In GC, FE and EE the last accent in bar 108 is clearly shorter than the previous (and next) and this is the version we give in the main text. The harmonised notation of GE1 and GE2 (→GE3) may be, however, considered as justified alternative versions of these signs.
