The accents, written in A in b. 311, 313 and analog., have almost certainly the same meaning despite the differences – generally minor ones – in length and shape. The majority of the marks are rather short; however, a few (b. 311, 317 & 333) may be considered long. Four undoubtedly long accents appear also in the repetition of this section (b. 417, 425, 433 & 435), which makes us place in the main text long accents only. At the same time, we add the accent in b. 331, overlooked by Chopin. We consider the version of GE2 (→GE3) with a set of short accents to be an alternative solution.
