b. 385

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

 hairpin in FE (→GE,EE)

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

In this context, the  hairpin in FE (→GE,EE) means almost certainly a long accent – cf. an undoubted accent in a similar bar 393. Hence, it is very probable that the sign was inaccurately rendered (extended) by the engraver.

in FE

in GE & EE

In the main text, we adopt the  hairpin after FE as the most likely reflection of Chopin's notation in [A]. In GE and EE the sign was slightly shifted in order to fit into the limits of semiquaver beams.
