Articulation, Accents, Hairpins

b. 77-80

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

Long accents in A1, literal reading

Short accents in FE (→EE) & GE
..

These bars are not written out in A1, since Chopin marked them in an abridged manner as repetition of b. 61-64. Just like there, the accents in b. 77 and 80 may be considered long, although it is probably simply an inaccuracy of notation.

b. 81-82

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

Short & long accent in A1, literal reading

2 short accents in FE (→EE)

No accents in GE
..

The accents on the 3rd beat of these bars were most probably removed in the proofreading of FE, which is proven by small characteristic traces left. Since Chopin replaced them with the cresc. indication and , we do not include them in the main text.
The issue of the length of the accents: see b. 60-64.
