3 different accents in A

3 short accents in FE & GE2

3 vertical accents in EE

In GE1 the second out of three accents was overlooked and the difference in their length was not taken into account. The overlooked accent was restored in the proofreading of FE (most probably by Chopin) and in GE2. The change of font of the accents in EE is a typical revision of this edition.

b. 104-105

a tempo in bar 105 in FE (→EE)

Tempo 1o in bar 104 in GE
..

The return to tempo is marked in FE (→EE) only in the solo part, in bar 105. Tempo 1o introduced a bar earlier in GE is most probably an editorial revision – cf. a similar situation in bar 52.

We consider the omitted accent under the beginning of the characteristic motif, imitated in the parts of French horns, bassoons and clarinets, to be Chopin's inadvertence. The mark is present in analogous bar 116, whereas in the part of bassoons, both bars are marked in the same way. The accent was added in EE, probably on the basis of comparison with bar 116.

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

The sources contain a cautionary  before g2 at the beginning of the bar. In the main text, we add a respective accidental also in the L.H. part. In addition, we add a  before a1 on the 3rd quaver.
