Short accent on d1 in FE & EE

Possible long accent

The sign in GC does not seem to be an accent on d1 – it is clearly placed between the notes, rather closer to the c1 quaver and it is clearly symmetrical in relation to the  hairpins in bar 23. Short accents visible in this place in FE and EE suggest, however, a possibility of an inaccurate reproduction of the notation of [A] by Gutmann. Therefore, we suggest a long accent as an alternative interpretation of the notation of all sources.
