Long accent in AI & EE3 (→EE4)

Short accent in A (→FEGE)

 in EE2

The long accent in AI (in this and in the next bar) proves that highlighting the note was an important element of the sound concept of this fragment from the very beginning. However, the clearly short sign in A (→FEGE) opens the issue of the type of accent, with which Chopin wanted to provide this note. According to us, it is the notation of the fair score that is inaccurate in this case, however, as we are not certain, in the main text we reproduce the notation of the main source.
The sign used in EE is closer to a long accent or even diminuendo hairpins, while in EE2 it was printed the other way round, as . In the copy presented in mUltimate Chopin, the mistake was corrected by hand (the other, uncorrected copy can be seen here).
