The accent in GC was probably added by Chopin. In GE, clearly against the manuscript, it was assigned to the L.H. and it was given a shape of a common, short accent.

It is not clear which of the sources based directly on [A] – GC and FE1 – conveyed the range more accurately and, as a consequence, also the sense of the hairpin. Both versions have their stylistic advantages and can be convincingly justified, as far as the source aspects are concerned:
In the main text we give the sign according to the base source, i.e. FE. The version of GC can be considered to be an equal variant. The accent in GE1 is undoubtedly a result of misunderstanding of the notation of GC, which was corrected in GE2mar (→GE2). Similarly in bars 24, 70 and 78. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , Scope of dynamic hairpins , GE revisions |

It is not clear whether according to Chopin the sign at the beginning of the bar was supposed to be a long accent, as it can be considered on the basis of GC and GE2, or rather a diminuendo, as it was written in FE (→EE). Taking into account the fact that in each of the cases the sign refers to the R.H., the difference in the performance may be imperceptible. To the main text we adopt an interpretation of the base source, i.e. FE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in GE , GE revisions |
