  b. 29

 in A (literal reading→GE→FE,IE) & EE2

Long accent in A, contextual interpretation

No mark in EE1

We interpret the  mark entered into A as a long accent – the mark concerns the R.H. top voice, which results from its position, and it naturally emphasises the syncopated c2 crotchet. The A notation was precisely reproduced in the editions (except EE1, in which the mark was overlooked), which, in the case of printed text, suggests rather a diminuendo hairpin.
