b. 33

We recreated the accent and  after A and FE. In GE the accent was moved over the note and the  was transferred; a similar version, yet with an authentically doubtful vertical accent, is included in EE.

The interpretation of accents in A is particularly difficult in that bar, as neither the graphic analysis nor the stylistic one provide convincing arguments for considering them as long or short. It can only be stated that it most probably concerns 2 identical accents. GE and FE have short accents, while the second one is under the note. EE has a vertical accent, only on the last note.

b. 35-48

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

 
 
..

We adopt the unambiguous staccato dots of A (→GE) and EE (EE is lacking the 1st dot in bar 37). FE's wedges may be an arbitrary revision of the edition and they do not have to result from distinct notation of the manuscript which serves as its base text – in that edition the dots are used only with the slurs in bars 122-126. The absent signs in FE in bars 37, 42 and 44 are probably a result of an oversight.

..

The clearly long accent in A was recreated as a short in GE. A short accent is also in FE. In EE the accent sign was omitted.

The accent in A is undoubtedly long. In all editions it was rendered as short.
