The long accent, written in A over the 3rd semiquaver in the R.H., was placed between the staves in FE (→GE1,EE, in the latter rather a short accent), so it can be interpreted as referring to both parts of the hands or only to the L.H. In GE2 (→GE3→GE4) the mark was changed to a short accent, clearly referring to the c minim. In the main text we give the accent between the staves modelled on FE, which in a certain manner previews the accents in the following bars. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE |

It is uncertain whether the accent in A should be interpreted as short, which is indicated by its size, or as long, same as two subsequent in this bar. We give preference to the 2nd interpretation. Omitting the mark in FE (→GE,EE) is almost certainly a mistake, as Chopin's deletion of an accent marking the beginning of a five-element progression seems to be totally unlikely. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in FE |

In FE (→GE,EE) the accents were assigned to the right hand and put over the upper stave. The notation of A is ambiguous in this respect, therefore, in the main text we place the signs between the staves. In GE short accents were used, in accordance with this edition's most frequent manner of reproducing all "accent-like" signs of different length featured in FE. Also in this aspect the notation of A is not entirely unanimous, hence we permit an alternative interpretation of the accents as short. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in FE |

According to us, the comparison with the accents from the previous bar suggests that both the placement and the kind of accent written in A (FE→GE,EE) may be interpreted in two ways, which we include in variant suggestions. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |
