Long accent on 2nd crotchet in A

Long accent on 1st crotchet in GE (→FE)

Short accent on 1st crotchet in EE

..

In spite of writing the bottom arm with great flourish, the sign in A is undoubtedly a long accent on the 2nd crotchet in the bar. The visible accents on the 1st crotchet in the editions are a result of misunderstanding the notation of A. Similarly in bar 34.

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

Long accent in A

 in GE (→FEEE)

..

Same as in bar 32, the interpretation of the long accent on the 3rd quaver as a diminuendo filling the 1st crotchet in the bar is a result of a total misunderstanding of Chopin's notation by the engraver of GE1 (→FEEE, →GE2).

Long accents in A

Different accents in GE1

Short accents in FE (→EE) & GE2

..

Out of four long accents written in A, GE1 reproduced correctly only the first and third, which was unified in the remaining editions, by giving short accents only. It is a result of considering long accents either inaccurately written common accents or short diminuendoes.

The typical long accent visible in A was falsely reproduced in the editions as a diminuendo hairpin, which would frequently happen in Chopin's works – cf. e.g. the Etude in A minor, Op. 10 No. 2, bar 8 and 12.
