Recording by Pollini
This etude is definitely concerned with accuracy in terms of mordents and accents. According to Wikipedia, "a mordent is an ornament indicating that the note is to be played in a single rapid alternation with the note above or below....The term comes from the Latin mordere, meaning "to bite." There are a number of notated mordents in this etude, meaning that the mordent sign isn't shown but each note is written out individually. As far as accents are concerned, they occur on the "ands" of every note, such as one AND two AND three AND.
