Different R.H. accents & L.H. in EE |
In bar 311, 313 and 315 the A accents clearly differ in terms of their length and – despite certain inaccuracies – certainly concern the L.H. At the same time, the mark in the 2nd half of bar 311 reaches the quaver, hence, when interpreted literally, it looks like a hairpin. It confused the engravers, who also reproduced the analogous marks in bar 313 and 315 in the same way. It is worth noting that the versions of A and FE are highly compliant, hence the difference in the position of the accents (short) at the beginning of these bars is particularly striking – contrary to the unambiguous A notation, they were assigned to the R.H., which suggests that [FC] was inaccurate in this respect. In EE it was also the second mark in bar 315 that was assigned to the R.H.
