Accent on 2nd semiquaver in A, literal reading |
||
Short accent on 1st semiquaver in GE2 |
||
Long accent on 1st semiquaver suggested by the editors |
The accent in A (short) is placed over the 2nd semiquaver of the last group (b). According to us, the notation is inaccurate, and the accent is supposed to concern the 1st semiquaver. In GE1 the accent was printed in accordance with the literal interpretation of A, yet over the next semiquaver (f), another accent was added. This musically incomprehensible notation perhaps proves attempts to correct the erroneous notation. In FE (→EE1) both erroneous accents were overlooked (it cannot be excluded that it was Chopin's proofreading). GE2 has an accent over the 1st note, which most probably proves the unification of the notation of all similar bars.
