b. 38-39

composition: Op. 10 No 6, Etude in E♭ minor

Long accents in A

Short accents in FE (→GE)

Short accent in EE

..

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.

Extension of the marks in the editions stem from the engravers' inaccuracy and manners.

b. 41

composition: Op. 10 No 6, Etude in E♭ minor

Long accent in A

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

..

The omission of the mark by the engraver seems to be the most plausible reason for the missing accent in FE (→GE,EE).

b. 43-48

composition: Op. 10 No 6, Etude in E♭ minor

Long accents in A

Short accents in FE (→GE)

Different accents in EE

..

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).

Our suggestion

..

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 (while the tie of eis 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).
