The interpretation of the mark of GE1, which resembles a long accent but goes beyond the bar line, is not obvious. One can interpret it as a short diminuendo hairpin, leading to and corresponding to the mark in b. 66. In the main text we give a short accent, introduced by Chopin in A1 (→FE→EE), since, according to us, even if the mark in [A2], reproduced in GE1, resembled a long accent, it would have probably meant the same thing as the remaining accents in this section: see b. 60-64.
