The "model" long accent in A was reproduced in the editions as a short one. Similarly in bar 154 as well as in bars 302 and 304. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE |

In bars 159-164, differentiation between long and short accents is unclear in A, yet the first three signs are evidently bigger or longer than the next two (see also bar 164). Since in an analogous fragment in the recapitulation (bars 309-314) the differences are entirely clear, in the main text we give here long accents too. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in A |

The accent in A certainly concerns c3, and not the d2-f2 third, as it was reproduced in the editions (cf. analogous bar 314 in the recapitulation). It is also unclear what kind of accent Chopin meant here, long or short. The sign is very similar to the short accents at the beginning of bars 162 and 164, yet it also does not differ significantly from the long accents in bars 159 and 161. Since the accent in an analogous bar in the recapitulation is clearly long, we suggest a version with such an accent also in this place. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE |

The accent over the minim in bar 182 in A is undoubtedly long, which was not reproduced in the editions. According to us, the absence of the sign in an analogous situation in bar 184 must be considered Chopin's inadvertence – in Morch corresponding signs are in all parts performing this motif (cellos, double basses and trombones). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE |

In the main text we give the notation of A, the only authentic according to us. The versions of editions are a sequence of cumulative mistakes, inaccuracies, misinterpretations and arbitrary changes:
