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

Accent in A

No mark in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The missing accent in the editions is almost certainly a result of inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1, who also overlooked slurs in this bar. Cf. bar 44 too.

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

Accent in A

 in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The unquestionable long accent in A under the b2 quaver started in the editions (certainly contrary to Chopin's intention) clearly earlier.

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

Long accent in A

Short accent in GE & EE2 (→EE3)

No mark in FE (→EE)
..

The unquestionable long accent written in A was reproduced in GE as short and in FE (→EE1) it was overlooked. There seems to be no reason to attribute any of these changes to Chopin's intervention. In subsequent EE the accent was most probably added after GE.

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

Short accent in A (→GE)

Long accent in FE (→EE)
..

The long accent in FE (→EE), not arising from the notation of A (→GE), is probably an accidental inaccuracy.
