4 long accents, our alternative suggestion |
In spite of the clear difference in the length of the accents in b. 118, 120, 122 and 124 visible in A, in the main text we give a unified notation with four short accents, which are more natural in these brilliant, virtuoso passages. At the same time, it is compliant with the notation of the principal source, i.e. FC, although it seems unlikely that Chopin could have interfered with the notation of the copy here. The absence of the last mark in FE (→EE) is an oversight, whereas the shorter first accent in EE – an inaccuracy or revision.
