A Chopin long accent in this bar is the longest out of the similar signs in the entire section encompassing bars 81-124. In spite of this, compared to subsequent, unequivocal accents in similar phrases, its accenting character is beyond doubt. Placing it at the end of the previous bar is undoubtedly a mistake of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE). In GE2, the sign was moved to the correct place, yet its exceptional length, interpreted literally, was preserved. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

In FE, the accent in bar 90 was overlooked, which is undoubtedly a mistake. The sign was added in EE, probably by analogy with identical bar 92. Same as in all subsequent, similar bars, EE has short accents (cf. notes in bars 98-103, 106-108 and 114-116). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Errors in FE |

In the main text we give accents in the L.H. in bars 98-99 and 102-103 after A and GE2, modelled after it. All differences between the remaining editions can be attributed to mistakes (oversight of signs in bars 98 and 103 in FE and EE, based on it) or inaccuracies (changes of the length of the accents). As a consequence, one can consider only the accent in bar 98 in GE1 and both accents in FE (bars 99 and 102) to be compliant with Chopin's notation; the accents, although unobvious at the first sight, as far as the type of the employed accent is concerned, are clearly longer than the short accents in bar 118, present on the same page. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |

It is uncertain which type of accent Chopin considered here – the sign is significantly shorter than the next accent and a few others, but the difference to those in bars 99 and 102 is very small. Taking into account the syncopated nature of this minim and the fact that all surrounding long accents concern minims or minim-long motifs, we deem it to be long. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in A |

Out of two long accents under the chords in the left hand only the first was reproduced in GE1 (→FE→EE) and under the part of the R.H. EE added both accents in the L.H., probably by analogy with bars 90 and 92 and 114 and 116. GE2 restored the notation of A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Errors in GE , GE revisions |
