A comparison with analogous bar 487 proves that two ​​​​​​​ marks are supposed to be accents, hence in the main text we give them the form of long accents. In GE3, a more radical change was introduced, since the accents are short, just like in bar 487.

The mark under the 2nd triplet is a long accent or a short diminuendo, and both interpretations can be considered justified. However, having analysed all three analogous bars (bars 504-505 and 508), in the main text we adopt a short accent after bar 504.

In the majority of the editions, the three markings are long accents or short diminuendoes. Admittedly, it is difficult to differentiate between them in this context; therefore, the classification adopted by us cannot be considered conclusive. In the main text, we tend to the interpretation applied in GE3, considering the notation of analogous bar 504 to be more accurate.
