  b. 418-431

4 short accents in EE

13 accents in GC (→GE)

12 accents in FE

Our suggestion (13 accents)

Our alternative suggestion (12 accents)

In these bars the question of short or long accents has not beeb resolved. Fortunately enough, a performer who has both options at his disposal is triggered to think about his own idea. The lack of most of the accents in EE must be the engraver's error - the accents end at the beginning a new line of text. The lack of accent in b. 423 in FE is an obvious error too, and we suggest two ways of dealing with it.
