Long accents in FE (→EE)

According to us, in spite of the difference in the length of the sign, in both bars the accents in AI (→FE) are to be understood as long. This is how it was understood in EE, while GE has a short accent in bar 25 and  in bar 26.

Wedge & dot in FE (→EE)

The octave in the R.H. is provided in FE (→EE) with a wedge in bar 25 and with a dot in bar 26. It is probably a result of misunderstanding of the notation of [A] (perhaps inaccurate). In GE1 (→GE1a) in both places there are dots, moreover, a dot was added – most probably by mistake – also over the octave in the L.H. It is hard to assume whether the omission of the signs in the R.H. in the subsequent GE is a result of a revision or of a mistake.
