Issues : Long accents

The short accent in A was reproduced in GE1 as a long one, since the engravers were probably convinced that they were a diminuendo hairpin. This is how it was interpreted in FE (→EE), extending the mark to the end of the triplet, "for clarity." The form of the sign compliant with A was restored in GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

According to us, the virtuoso panache and brilliance require rather accents than diminuendos, hence in the main text we interpret all marks of A as accents (long and short). The marks printed in GE (→FE→EE), even longer than in the notation of A, hinder the interpretation of a possible intention of the composer even more. Shift of the accent at the end of bar 485 must be an inaccuracy of the engravers of GE1 and FE1. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in GE , EE inaccuracies |

There is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the accents added in the proofreading of FE (→EE) on c in bar 486 and on C in bar 487. In turn, it is not clear what kind of accents Chopin had in mind, since it is difficult to assume that he would have liked to differentiate between them. According to us, it is long accents that are more likely, since a shift of the shorter sign (in bar 486) may indicate that the accent written by Chopin was longer than the one printed in FE. However, it is only a suspicion, hence both the long accents suggested in the main text and the short accents in EE may be considered equal variants. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE inaccuracies , Authentic corrections of FE |

The accent in A at the beginning of the bar, considered in the context of this bar, is long, yet compared with the marks in the two previous bars, it may also be interpreted as a short one. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

Out of eight long accents written in A, GE1 reproduced in this form only the mark in bar 497, which is naturally an accidental inaccuracy. The mark in this bar is slightly longer also in FE (→EE); however, the difference is so small that it is difficult to consider it meaningful. In GE2 all accents were unified. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |
