b. 153-155

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

3 accents in GC & FE (→EE)

No marks in GE
..

In GE, most probably due to the engraver's inattention, there is no R.H. accent in any of these bars. See also bars 158-159.

b. 153

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

Accent in GC (→GE) & EE2

No mark in FE (→EE1)
..

The absence of an accent in FE (→EE1), if not an oversight by the engraver, means that Chopin added the mark to GC (→GE).

8 different accents in GC

8 long accents suggested by the editors
..

The accents in GC are of different length, which, considering the similarity of the motifs, is most probably an inaccuracy. In the main text we adopt long accents, which prevail in the notation. All the versions of the editions are most probably a result of an inaccuracy or revision.
