The Chopinesque long accent was interpreted in GE1 as a 
hairpin, significantly increasing the range of the sign. In FE (→EE) the endings of the sign were related to the only notes in this bar, which extended it even more. The length of the sign in GE2, considered in relation to the quavers in the R.H., generally corresponds to the notation of A, yet the proportions with respect to the third in the L.H. differ – in GE2 the sign reaches beyond the half of the distance between them and can be associated with a diminuendo sign, much more than the sign in A.
