2 long accents & staccato dot in A

Long accent in FC

Short accent in L.H. in FE1

Short & long accents in FE2

Short accent in GE

Vertical & long accent in EE

In the main text we reproduce the very precise performance marks for the chord on the 2nd beat of the bar in A: long accents over f4 and the L.H. chord and a staccato dot under f3. The R.H. marks were overlooked both in FC (→GE) and FE1, which is justified to a certain extent, since both marks are poorly visible. The L.H. accent (short) was placed in FE under the chord, as a result of which the R.H. octave is not accented at all. FE2 tried to amend it by adding a long accent under it. Introduction of a vertical accent in EE is an arbitrary decision typical of that publisher – cf. the previous bar.
