  b. 44

Accent under L.H. in A

2 short accents between staves in FE (→GE,EE)

2 long accents suggested by the editors

The two accents in FE must have resulted from Chopin's proofreading; apparently, he decided to homogenise the markings in b. 44 and 46. Taking into account the fact that the accents of A in b. 46 are clearly long, which, however, were reproduced by FE as short, we assume that it is also in b. 44 that Chopin most probably wanted to have long accents; this is the solution we adopt in the main text.
