Long accent in #Wf (→#Wn)

Short accent in EE

..

A precise differentiation between long and short accents, typical of Chopin's notation, and assigning them to the right or left hand is impossible due to the missing autograph and visible inaccuracies of the first editions. In FE, it is possible to observe differences between accents in some cases; it also applies to GE to a lesser extent. In turn, the reviser of EE reproduced almost all accents as short. It is impossible to clearly identify in which places the notation of FE reproduces Chopin's notation faithfully (which can also be imprecise) and in which ones the length of the accent results from a random event or an inaccuracy. We try to reproduce the composer's intention taking into account his habits in this respect, documented by sources in other compositions.

b. 16

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

R.H. long accent in FE (→GE)

No mark in EE1 (→EE2)

L.H. short accent in EE3

..

The missing accent in EE1 (→EE2) is most probably an oversight. The mark was added in EE3; however, it was given the form of a short accent over the L.H. chord (the accent in FE (→GE) is placed under the a2-aoctave).

b. 18

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Hairpin from 1st note in FE

Hairpin from 3rd note in GE

 hairpin & cresc. in EE

..

Cresc. between the hairpin in FE (→GE) almost certainly conveys Chopin's notation in [A]. In EE, both indications were separated. A slightly later beginning of the hairpin in GE is most probably an inaccuracy of the engraver.

b. 18

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

FE (→GE) did not repeat accidentals in the section of the scale placed under the octave sign. The notation of EE is compliant with the contemporary rules.
