2 long accents suggested by the editors |
& 
in Two marks in the form of a hairpin – accents or short diminuendoes – visible in A are difficult to interpret. Neither the nature of the marks (an accent or a diminuendo) nor the stave they should concern are clear. The same can be said of rhythmic synchronisation – the beginning of the mark may be linked to the 2nd (6th) quaver in the bar or the 3rd (7th) quaver. As the A version we reproduce the graphic image of the manuscript (as far as possible). On the other hand, in the main text we provide the most likely, according to us, contextual interpretation, in which we consider both marks to be the continuation of the three long accents over the L.H. minims in the previous bars. Another possibility, although less likely, could be the way these marks were interpreted by GE and a variation of this interpretation adopted by EE and IE (which are surprisingly consistent considering the fact they were created independently). In FE, to the two signs between the staves (in the EE and IE arrangement) a third one was arbitrarily added, under the last L.H. crotchet.
