In the main text we give the long accents of A. In the editions they were reproduced inaccurately as short ones. The differences in the number of accents are a result of oversights and revisions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

In A the sign is bigger than the majority of long accents, so it having been reproduced in GE as a hairpin cannot be considered an inaccuracy. According to us, the context, however, definitely supports a long accent, which is in A in the corresponding bar of the exposition by the way (bar 138). The sign in FE (→EE) is an example of a frequently appearing mistake, consisting in reversing the direction of a sign – cf. e.g. the Etude in C minor, Op. 10 No. 12, bar 53. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in FE , Sign reversal |

The missing accent is certainly a mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE). The engraver might not have been sure to which note the shifted accent applied (it was one of the ways of marking long accents in Chopin's earlier autographs – cf. bar 230). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

It is unclear which type of accent Chopin meant here. The sign is shorter from all previous ones on this page of A (bars 289-290); however, its shape is characteristic of long accents – cf. the accent in bar 293. GE (→FE) has a short accent, which in EE was changed to a vertical sign. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions |
