In the editions, almost all signs of accents were represented as short accents – the engraver of FE (→GE1) correctly placed the only long accent in bar 63, yet in EE and GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) it was changed to a short one. According to us, the notation of the majority of the accents of A clearly indicates their interpretation as long accents. Apart from the aforementioned, in the manuscript there is a specific for Chopin, rarely present sign of an inverted long accent – see bar 47. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Long accents , EE revisions , GE revisions , FE revisions |

Although in A the sign of the accent is clearly shorter than in the adjacent bars, it is most probably to be interpreted as a long accent – same as in analogous bars 13 and 17. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

In FE (→GE1,EE), instead of the sign of a reversed accent, there are hairpins between b1 and a1. The inaccuracy, clearly distorting the sense of the sign, was revised in GE2 and GE3 (→GE4→GE5) on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 47. In FEJ Chopin added an accent in pencil under the top stave, which, according to us, can be considered to be a temporary correction of the misleading notation of FE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Annotations in teaching copies , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Annotations in FEJ |
