b. 175

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

..

At the beginning of the bar, Chopin entered into A a cautionary  to a. GE (→FE,EE,IE) added a  also to a2 in the R.H.
In the 2nd half of the bar the  to g is missing in A. The accidental was added in GE (→FE,EE,IE), yet it was erroneously placed only just before the last quaver.

Long accent in A (→GE, literal reading)

Short accent in FE, EE & IE
..

The long accent of A was reproduced in GE as a mark whose range is in between the short and the long one, hence it is unclear whether it should be short or long. However, it is longer than typical short accents, e.g. in bar 153, hence we consider it a long accent. In the remaining editions it was interpreted as a short accent.

4 slurs in A

No slurs in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The absence of all slurs between the chords in GE (→FE,EE,IE) is most probably due to inattention of the engraver of GE1.
