Long R.H. accent in A (literal reading→GE→FE)

R.H. short accent in EE

L.H. long accent in A, interpretation suggested by the editors

The interpretation of the long accent written in A presents difficulties: the sign is written in such a way that it can refer either to the minim in the R.H. or to f1 in the L.H. (a similar problem appears in the recapitulation, bar 278). According to us, it is more likely that Chopin wanted to draw attention to the chromatic transition of the tenor voice: f1-f1-[e1]. Shortening the accent in EE is a typical inaccuracy of this edition.
