A long, locally topmost note is a typical place for a long accent, a mark Chopin would use most often. Therefore, supposing an inaccurate reproduction of the notation by the engraver of FE, in the main text we suggest a long accent. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: Long accents |

The missing accent is most probably an oversight of the engraver of GE. In the main text, we suggest a long accent, since the shorter mark in FE is most probably related to its atypical placement between two top elements of the chord. Generally, it is impossible to reproduce such a notation, sometimes used by Chopin, e.g. in the Concerto in F minor, op. 21, the 2nd mov., bar 36, in print accurately. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , Errors in GE |

In FE, three subsequent accents under the dotted quavers, although they look like short ones, are of a slightly different length, related to the length of the beam above them. It may indicate that the engraver considered them to be diminuendoes (), which, in turn, points to the use of long accents by Chopin. Cf. similar motifs in the 1st mov. of the Concerto, bars 4-6. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents |
