Five clear long accents in A were not correctly reproduced in any other source. In FC it is the last two and possibly the first one with arms of different length that could be considered long; we assume that it is only the last two accents that are long. FE and GE contain common, short accents, which was the most common way the Chopinesque long accents were interpreted by the engravers. The vertical accents of EE resulted from an arbitrary practice, typical of that edition.
