  b. 25-26

Two  signs in Ap

 in FE (→GE)

Accent in EE2, interpretation

Two accents in EE3 (→EE4), interpretation

The  hairpins added in one of the later proofreadings of FE (→GE) should be, according to us, interpreted as diminuendo (in pair with the  sign in the previous bar). However, it must be said that FE also reproduces a few unequivocal long accents in a similar way. This is exactly how the sign was understood in EE and, moreover, in EE3 (→EE4) a similar accent was arbitrarily added in analogous place in bar 26.
Ap has  in both bars, while in bar 25 the sign is put clearly earlier than in FE.
