b. 11

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

No mark in AI & FE (→EE2,GE1→GE1a→GE2→GE3)

Long accent in EE3 (→EE4)

Short accent in GE4 (→GE5)

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

We suggest to add an accent after the sign in analogous bar 61. In similar contexts, the crotchets at the end of bar are always accentuated – cf. bars 16, 18, 20, 22 and 25-26. The addition – probably on the same basis – was introduced already in EE3 (→EE4) and GE4 (→GE5).

The  mark in AI is clearly valid from the beginning of the bar. In turn,  in FE (→GE,EE2), apart from the literal reading, can be interpreted in several ways, e.g., as  valid in this place or – which is more plausible – as  valid from the beginning of the bar. In the main text we propose the latter, being the resultant of both source notations (Cf. also analogous bar 62).
In EE3 (→EE4) an arbitrary  was added to  adopted from FE (near the end of the bar), probably on the basis of comparison with bar 62.
