Long accent (?) in GE1, literal reading |
||
Long accent on 2nd beat in GE2 |
||
Short accent on 3rd beat suggested by the editors |
Just like 7 next accents in b. 69-75, the mark in GE1 was added by Chopin in the proofreading or still in [A2]. Its placement must be inaccurate: there are no doubts that it is the 3rd and not the 2nd beat that is to be accented, yet GE2 understood it the other way round (with accent on the 2nd beat). According to us, the size of the mark is also unreliable (cf. the note in b. 60-64), hence in the main text we give a contextual interpretation thereof.
