All accents in the R.H. in bars 236, 238 and 240 are clearly written and they are undoubtedly long accents. In spite of this, in GE1 the signs in bar 238 were overlooked, whereas the remaining ones were reproduced inaccurately – the last two accents in bar 236 and the last one in bar 240 are short. In FE and EE bar 238 was left without signs, whereas the notation of the remaining ones was distorted – in bar 236 the first accent became a  embracing three (FE) or four (EE) semiquavers, whereas the second one was overlooked; in bar 240, EE used vertical accents. In GE2, all accents of A in these bars were reproduced as short ones.

In EE all accents in the R.H. in bars 241, 243 and 245 were printed as vertical ones, which was a frequent arbitrary decision of that edition.

The last accent in bar 245 was overlooked in FE (→EE).
