  b. 67-68

No marks in AI & EE2

Short accents in A (literal reading) & GE

Long accents in A (probably interpretation)

Different accents in FE & EE4

Long accent in EE3

 

Both the placement of the sign in bar 67 and the shape of the accents in both bars are, according to us, a result of a less careful notation of the final part of the Etude by Chopin. Therefore, in the main text we suggest long accents modelled on the notation of A in bars 14-15.
