We interpret the accent in A as long one – it is much longer than the short accents in the adjacent bars. In the source the accent is short. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

It is unclear whether Chopin wanted to write 3 equal accents in A or different ones. Actually, all three are significantly bigger than, e.g., the accents in bars 83-84, yet the first 2 differ quite clearly between themselves. The editions – as in the entire Impromptu – give only the short accents. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

Lack of the accent in A (→GE1) may be considered as a probable Chopin's oversight. In GE2 (→GE3→GE4) a short accent was already added; it also appeared in FE and EE. We give the long accent after the analogous place in bar 10 in A. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents |
