In the sources, the indications concerning the e1 crotchet are unclear. The fact of shifting the accent in A to the right may be considered as an irrelevant inaccuracy of notation or a suggestion of the sign's length. The version of FE seems to be even more puzzling, especially given the fact that it was most probably corrected – over the stave, to the right of the note there are visible possible traces of deletion of the accent. It is also unclear why the staccato dot was not included neither in GE nor in EE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in EE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

The accents in GC (→GE) do not show varied features in these bars and are shorter than, e.g., the ones in GC in bars 9-10. In turn, in FE, and particularly in EE, the first five signs are clearly longer than the sixth one. It is hard to determine how this difference occurred and, as a consequence, what was Chopin's intention in this regard. Therefore, in the main text we reproduce the notation of the basic source, i.e. GC. See also bars 107-108. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

In all sources, 3 subsequent accents in bars 5-6 are short. We consider it to be an inaccuracy of the engraver and suggest long accents in the main text:

Two long accents visible in A were reproduced in FE (→EE; in EE2 the accent in bar 7 was overlooked) in varied ways. GE includes short accents in both bars. There is no reason to assume that Chopin interfered with any of the versions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in EE |

Neither in AI nor in A is the type of accent Chopin thought of here clear. The sign is visibly shorter in AI than in A, therefore, we interpret it as a short and long accent, respectively. This is how we give it in the main text. According to us, it is highly likely that a long accent was written also in the base text to FE, reproduced inaccurately as . category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Long accents |
