a1 in FE
..

No  in FE augmenting a1 to a1 may be an omission, similarly in b. 87.

b. 431

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Short accent in EE & GC (→GE)

No mark in FE

Our suggestion—a long accent

Similarly to the corresponding b. 89, we believe a long accent to be musically justified and, taking into account possible inaccuracies in reading the autograph, possibly accepted as a source.

Crotchet in FE
..

The one-voice notation in FE must be an error here, even if it can be found in [A2], which is proven by the notation of other sources as well as an identical version of the corresponding b. 89 in all the sources.
