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.
