b. 35

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Short accent in EE

Long accent in GC

No mark in FE and GE

..

The accent visible in GC, if it reproduces the autograph notation faithfully, should be interpreted as a long one. EE has a short accent, which is probably an oversight, while FE and GE have none, which is probably a revision (cf. the note related to bar 377).

Tie and accent in EE & GC

Tie and accent in GE

Possible interpretation of source versions

..

For our main text we adopt the version appearing in both EE and GC (sustained c sharp2, one accent). Lack of a tie sustaining c sharp2 in FE could be easily considered an omission were it not for an additional accent at the beginning of bar 75, which in a sense confirms the need to repeat the note. Despite all that, we consider errors and misunderstandings to be the most probable source of the version of FE; that view finds confirmation when we make a comparison  with analogous bars 416-417, in which FE stays in compliance with the remaining sources. The version of GE results from a routine moving of the accent to the note head side.
