Long accent in A (→GC,FE)

Long accent in GE

Short accent in EE

The long accents in these bars were inaccurately reproduced in the editions – in FE both signs are moved to the right, while in EE the sign in bar 42 has the form of a short accent. Moreover, in GE and EE the sign was overlooked in bar 43.
