The clarification of the fading out of the music before the final accent is the last of the group of the Chopinesque improvements written down most probably already in [AG] (→GE1). The fact that the mark in GE2 starts earlier is most probably a result of an arbitrary decision – a frequently applied adjustment to the rhythmic structure, which in this case is a bar.
AF features a long accent, similar to the ones in b. 174-176. However, the mark in FE is short, which probably resulted from shifting it so that it would not intersect with the g
quaver stem. In turn, it is unclear whether the accent of AF and the hairpin of GE1 describe different performance concepts or simply different aspects of the same performance. Taking into account the above, in the main text we give the text of GE1; as an alternative solution we suggest a variant version based thereupon.
