Dashes in FE (→EE)

No marks in GE

In GE, there are no dashes marking the range of diminuendo. It is most probably an arbitrary revision of the editor, since there are no dashes in the entire source.

b. 222

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

In GE, bar 222 opens a new great stave, resulting in an inaccurate slurring – a new slur begins on the 1st note, although the extended ending of the slur in the previous bar clearly points to its continuation.

Long accent in FE, contextual interpretation

Hairpin in GE

Short accent in EE
..

The mark placed in FE could be interpreted as a ​​​​​​​ hairpin, as in GE where it was even extended. However, in this context, it is most probably a long accent. The reviser of EE also recognized an accent in it, and reproduced it as a standard, short one. Similarly in bar 240.
