Placing the accent under the 2nd octave of the motif in FE (→EE) is almost certainly a mistake. We preserve the unambiguous notation of A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

GE2 has the mark slightly moved to the left. This is the most clearly visible one of the change that occurred in connection with the change of the printing technique in later printing runs of GE1 category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

The engraver of GE rendered the wedge from A as a dot. That sign is very poorly visible in FE; this may be due to faulty printing (cf. bar 1), but it is more probable that Chopin removed the dot while proofing FE (→EE). category imprint: Differences between sources |

Distortion of Chopin's notation resulted from the fact that the musical notation of the day did not have a separate "long accent" category and therefore a relevant standardized sign did not exist. The fact that the sign was placed under the staff is nonetheless strange, as this was not typical for the editorial practices of those times. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents |
