Accent in PE

..

The accent over the syncopation is an unquestionable improvement of notation, introduced by Chopin into [A] (→PE).

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

No marks in JC & EF

Wedges in PE

..

The wedges over the last semiquavers of triplets in PE probably come from [A]. It is not entirely clear how the signs are to be understood if the staccato articulation for all semiquavers was probably determined with a relevant verbal indication.

No sign in JC

 in PE

..

The  hairpins visible in EF are probably – same as the remaining dynamic indications in this part – an addition by Fontana. Their meaning, despite a similar range to the relevant sign in PE, seems to be different: it is undoubtedly a diminuendo leading to  in the next bar. In turn, the sense of the sign in PE probably corresponds to a long accent.

Wedge & accent in PE

Our suggestion

..

The wedge and accents, visible in PE, probably come from [A]. According to us, the type of the accent, short or long, does not stem from the notation; therefore, we consider both possibilities, giving the priority to the long accent (cf. bar 65).
