Issues : Long accents

b. 42-43

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

A long accent in bar 42 in A

An accent in bar 43 in GE1 (→FE)

No accent mark in EE

A short accent in GE2 (→GE3)

..

An accent under the syncopated octave f2-f3 in bar 42, longer than usual here in A, was printed at the beginning of bar 43 in GE1 (→FE). In EE the accent was omitted altogether, which is probably an error. In GE2 (→GE3) the accent returned to its proper place, but in the form of an ordinary short accent instead of a long one.

Short accents in A (→GE) and EE

Long accents in FE

..

The accents at the beginning of bars 46 and 48 should in A be considered short ones and this is how they were reproduced in GE. FE has long accents, although this does not seem to be the result of the correction in print. The version with long accents could be acceptable for Chopin, as in most analogous bars A has long accents. EE has short accents, which follows from inaccurately reproducing the text of FE. The conformity of that version with the authentic text of A is a fortunate coincidence.
