  b. 30-31

Accents in A, contextual interpretation

Accents (diminuendos?) in FE

Long accents in GE1 (→GE1a→GE2)

Diminuendos (accents?) in EE

Short accents in GE3 (→GE4)

L.H. accents in GE5

In the main text we give the undoubtedly only authentic version of the accents on the d1-f1 and d1-f1 thirds in bars 30 and 31 respectively. The remaining versions are almost certainly a result of revisions or misinterpretation of the base texts by the engravers. Lack of signs in bar 31 in GE may prove that they were added in the last proofreading of FE. The last accent in A is clearly shorter, which, according to us, is an inaccuracy of Chopin's notation.
