  b. 39-40

Different accents in A

Short accent in FC (→GE)

Short accents in EE

Long accents alternatively suggested by the editors

The question of type of accents written here by Chopin in A (→FE) – short or long – see bars 9-10. The missing accent in FC (→GE) in bar 40 is certainly a mistake – perhaps the copyist was not sure how to interpret the impressively written long accent in A.
