The long accents of A1 are most probably an earlier version and may be considered a variant. The short accents of FE could also have been accepted by Chopin, who added two of them – in b. 81-82 – probably in the last stage of proofreading, since they are absent in EE. In the main text we give differentiated accents after GE2, which fittingly systematised the notation of GE1, which is slightly chaotic, yet most probably substantially compliant with [A2]. Moreover, we suggest an alternative interpretation of the notation of GE1, consistent with the literal interpretation of A1 in b. 73-75.
