Different accents in A

Short accents in GE & EE

Long accents in FE

..

Same as in the previous bar, A has a long accent on dand a short one on c2. The difference was not included in GE, which probably resulted from the intention to simplify the notation. The further changes of the length of accents in FE and EE are also of an accidental nature.

The given version of A is already a result of Chopin's corrections, who changed the rhythm and articulation in the 1st half of the bar. Therefore, there is no doubt that the reduction of the number of accents in GE1 (→FEEE) also came from him. In the main text we give the latest version, changing only the accent, to a long one, much more likely in this context and generally erroneously reproduced in the editions (further changes to the type of accents in FE and EE are probably arbitrary too). GE2 restored the accents removed by Chopin, which points to the use of an autograph at the time of revising GE2 and not the test copy of GE1 with Chopin's proofreading.

The erroneous pitch of the 2nd semiquaver in GE is a consequence of the imprecise notation of the end of the octave sign embracing the first two semiquavers in this bar in A (and the last four of the previous one). In GE1 the notation was reproduced too literally (erroneously), not taking into account both the graphical context and analogous figures in the next bars. The mistake was not repeated in FE (→EE), although the notation of EE is not entirely clear. In turn, the misunderstanding of Chopin's intention in GE2 is puzzling, in which the erroneous pitch of the discussed note was repeated, although the notation does not include an octave sign.

According to us, all versions of the editions are a result of consecutively overlapping inaccuracies and misunderstandings. In GE the signs were related only to the notes on the bottom stave, which was then inaccurately reproduced in FE and EE.
