  b. 10

Accent in AI

 in A (→GE1)

  in GE1a (→GE2→GE3)

  in FE

  in EE

  suggested by the editors

Similarly as in analogous bars 1-2, AI has here only an accent under f2 at the beginning of bar 10. Lack of the  sign in bar 10 in A (→GE1) seems to be an inaccuracy of notation, corrected – probably by Chopin – in GE1a (→GE2→GE3). After including this correction, the dynamic hairpins correspond to the scheme of analogous bars 1-2, as well as to the signs in FE and EE. In the main text we give the  hairpins written in A and  added in GE1a.
