Short accents in GE

Different accents in FE

Short accents in EE

In the main text we suggest accents as written down in EE. This solution combines the most certain elements of the versions of GE1 and FE:

  • short accents after GE, since in FE each mark is of a different length – short, short/long, long, respectively – which cannot correspond to Chopin's intention;
  • accents under the R.H. octaves as in FE, for reasons of consistency – in GE the remaining bars in this section (b. 111-124) do not contain any accents at all. The position of the accents in GE could have resulted from a routine revision of the engraver – in one-part notation, the marks are generally placed on the side of noteheads.
