In the main text we give two long accents under the chords ending these bars, since all deviations from this notation present in the editions are a result of inaccuracies or arbitrary revisions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

According to us, the fact of removing the accents by Chopin in a proofreading of GE1 (→FE→EE) is less likely than them having been accidentally overlooked by the engraver (there are more similar inaccuracies, both in this and the previous bar). GE2 restored the accents (as short). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

Contrary to the notation of A, accents in GE1 are of a varied length. The signs in FE are not equivalent, yet the difference seems to be unimportant; we interpret them as short (short accents are also in GE2). All those differences are undoubtedly of an accidental character. In EE both signs were reproduced as vertical accents and such an accent was added over the chord on the 4th beat of the bar. Cf. notes on accents in the R.H. in this and next bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE |

It is difficult to say what the motivation of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE) was while he overlooked four very distinct long accents of A. He may have considered them to be superfluous in the face of the accents of the R.H. In GE2 the accents were reproduced as short. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The accent over the trill in A is clearly shorter than long accents at the beginning and end of this bar. However, long accents in the next bars already do not contrast so expressly with the discussed sign, hence we consider its interpretation as a long accent to be most likely. The missing accent in GE1 (→FE→EE) is certainly an oversight. The sign was added in GE2 (as a short accent). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in GE , GE revisions |
