Long accent in A (→FE→EE2→EE3)

 in GE1 (→GE1a)

 in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) & EE4
..

The long accent in A (→FE→EE2→EE3) was reproduced in GE1 (→GE1a) as  hairpins after bar 25. The homogeneity was maintained in subsequent GE, extending the sign even more, for four semiquavers. This arbitrary version was repeated also in EE4.

b. 29

composition: Op. 10 No 3, Etude in E major

Four dots in A

Six dots in FE (→EE)

Five dots in GE1 (→GE1a)

Slur & dots in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5)

Dots with slur in EE4
..

In the main text we give most probably the only (except for AI, which is devoid of indications) authentic version of articulation signs – four staccato dots written in A, traditionally meaning small accents. The remaining versions are probably a result of imposition of errors and revisions of the editors.
