Reversed short accent in FE (→GE1,EEC)

Accent in EEW & GE2 (→GE3)

Reversed long accent suggested by the editors

The authenticity of the reversed short accent of FE (→EEC) is questionable, since such marks are absent in Chopinesque autographs. Therefore, we are most probably dealing with a reversed mark, as it was assessed in GE2 (→GE3) and EEW, or with it having been shortened, which we consider more likely due to the ascending second motif – see the Concerto in E minor, Op. 11, II mov., bar 29, and the Prelude in G, Op. 28 No. 3, bars 17-18.
