Different accents in A

Long accents in GE

No marks in FE (→EE1)

Short accents in EE2

In bar 228 and 230 the absence of accents in FE (→EE1) proves that Chopin added them to A after [FC] had been finished. In GE, and on the basis thereof also in EE1, the marks are standardised – long in GE and short in EE2. In the main text we give the A version with a pair of accents of different length in each of these bars.
