The accent that can be seen in A (→GE→FE→EE) must be considered a short one. However, if we compare that bar with bars 121, 127 and 133, in which A clearly has long accents, we begin to suspect that the accent mark may have been written by Chopin in a hasty and inaccurate manner. category imprint: Interpretations within context issues: Long accents |

Considering their shape and location, the accents in bars 139 and 142 in A must be viewed as short ones, and this is how they were interpreted in GE (→FE→EE). This is also consistent with Chopin's notation used in similar situations in bars 120, 122 and 134. However, the marks are big enough to stir some doubt; Chopin might have wanted to have long accents here after all, as accented notes are sustained longer (cf. also bar 146). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness issues: Long accents |

The two accents were clearly written in A as a short one and a long one. In GE1 that difference was disregarded and two short accents were put in. That version was revised in GE2 (→GE3) by lengthening the first accent (against A). FE also presents a similar version, which was changed to two equally short accents again in EE (following the general tendency of that edition). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |
