Short accents in GC (→GE)

Long accents in FE & EE

The accents in GC (→GE) do not show varied features in these bars and are shorter than, e.g., the ones in GC in bars 9-10. In turn, in FE, and particularly in EE, the first five signs are clearly longer than the sixth one. It is hard to determine how this difference occurred and, as a consequence, what was Chopin's intention in this regard. Therefore, in the main text we reproduce the notation of the basic source, i.e. GC. See also bars 107-108.
