b. 4
One accent in EE |
It is not entirely clear whether FE has two accents in the 2nd half of the bar, as it is in A, or one, as it is in GE or EE. According to us, in the preceding fragment Chopin clearly expressed his intention of leaving only the accents on the 4th and 10th quavers in bars 1-4 and this is the version, clearly reproduced in GE, that we give in the main text. However, the accent in an analogous place of the 2nd eight-bar section (bar 12) may be considered as an argument for two accents in the discussed place in bar 4. The version of EE is probably a result of revision based on the comparison with bar 12.
