The accents in A are undoubtedly long here, which was, however, erroneously reproduced in FE (→GE). In EE the second mark was omitted, certainly by accident. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in EE |

Extension of the marks in the editions stem from the engravers' inaccuracy and manners. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

The omission of the mark by the engraver seems to be the most plausible reason for the missing accent in FE (→GE,EE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

We interpret the accents of A in bars 43, 46-48 as long ones. In the editions they were generally reproduced as short, while the mark in bar 48 was totally omitted (the engraver's distraction – see the remark on the rhythmic error). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

Allegedly, the mark of A was supposed to have a similar range as in the significantly less carefully written bars 5 and 13. The notation of A shows signs of underdevelopment and haste in this aspect, e.g., lack of the tie sustaining g (while the tie of e1 is marked only in bar 44, at the end of the line), lack of the dot extending the e1 minim, lack of the returning g in bar 46. Therefore, in the main text we suggest the indications used by Chopin in bars 5 and 13. The character of the hairpins in FE (→GE1,EE) is actually the one of a long accent nature, yet it is uncertain whether their arrangement in the 1st half of the bar was a result of Chopin's intervention or of the engraver's inaccuracy. In subsequent GE,s the mark was arbitrarily extended with an unexpected consistency (which is averaged by us). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Authentic corrections of FE |
