Small differences concerning the range of the  mark between the sources are insignificant in this context; it also applies to the differences between analogous bars. In the main text, we suggest a hairpin modelled after the first appearance of this phrase (bars 53-54) – it is likely that Chopin wrote the mark most carefully for the first time.

Hairpin from a1 in FE (→EE)

Hairpin from b1 in GE
..

A slightly earlier beginning of the  hairpin is probably a routine revision of GE, where marks were often adjusted to metric structures.

The differences in the range of the  hairpin is probably a result of the engravers' inaccuracy. In the main text, we give a hairpin modelled after the mark in analogous bars 53-54.

Long accent in FE, contextual interpretation

​​​​​​​ hairpin in GE

Short accent in EE
..

The mark in FE paired with  denotes a long accent in this context. A slight prolongation of the mark in GE made it clearly a  hairpin. EE correctly considered the mark to be an accent and reproduced it as a standard, short accent. The same applies to bar 88.

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

2 accents in FE (→GE,EE)

1 accent in GE
..

In GE, the reviser abandoned two separate accents for the last crotchet in favour of one mark for both hands. There is a similar situation in bar 237.
