A short accent in GE (→FE→EE) |

Our suggestion—a long accent |
The first editions do not have any long accents other than the marks in bars 11 and 83 that could be interpreted as such. It is almost certain that this does not correspond to the notation of [A], as that type of accent belonged to Chopin's favourite markings. In the outer sections of the Nocturne, we propose long accents in the main text instead of short ones that appear in the editions, as we consider the former to be much more probable than the latter.
