Long accent in A (→GE)

Short accent in FE (→EE)

, our alternative suggestion

 & , our complementing suggestion

Noteworthy is the similarity, despite the inaccurate reproduction of the accent, of versions of A and FE – cf. the other three analogous places where these sources differ significantly (bars 94, 98 and 265). This may mean, among other things, that this place was accidentally omitted in Chopin’s additions or corrections to the markings in [FC] or the proofs of FE1. Taking account of this possibility, we propose – as an alternative or supplement to the main text, based on the version of A – a  hairpin modelled on the indications of FE in three previous analogous places – see bars 93-97.
