b. 331

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In GE (→FE,EE) the e1 crotchet is provided with two augmentation dots, which could have been caused by the spot in A, resembling a second dot. It must be a mistake, since this e1 note is continued by the d1 quaver, falling on the 4th quaver in the bar. In FESB this note was placed on one stem with the g1 quaver, which changed its value to a double dotted quaver. It was probably an attempt at correcting the excessive rhythmic value of this note.

Inverted long accent in A

Long accent in FC

in FE (→EE)

Short accent in GE
..

In the main text we give a long accent with which Chopin replaced in FC the original reversed accent, inaccurately reproduced as a  hairpin both in FC and FE (→EE). The short accent in GE is a typical inaccuracy related to Chopinesque long accents, which do not belong to the canon of generally applied indications.
