The interpretation of the accents of A1 in b. 73-76 is not obvious: out of six marks, the first three look like typical long accents, while the next two are shorter, yet it is uncertain whether this difference is to be considered significant, whereas the mark in b. 76, although much longer from the remaining ones, also conforms to the characterization of long accents in terms of its shape and placement. Having compared it with the notation of A1 in analogous b. 81-84, we adopt 5 long accents and a short diminuendo hairpin as the text of this autograph.
The consolidated version of the editions most probably results from the engravers' routine interpretation of the markings.
In the main text we suggest differentiated accents for b. 73-75, modelled after the similarly differentiated notation of GE1 in analogous b. 81-83. We give another differentiated interpretation of those accents as an alternative solution. In b. 76 we adopt a long accent.
