Based on GE1, FE1 was printed with the use of original plates for several dozen years without any changes to the musical text (after 1845 by M. Schlesinger's successor, G. Brandus). Chopin corrected FE1, introducing some changes in the accompaniment (bars 17 and 19, 25, 33) as compared with the version of A (→GE), and also modifying dynamic indications, accentuation and slurring.
The accent mark used in FE1 is narrow and quite long (its length depending in many places on the exactness of its impression on paper) which makes it resemble a long accent. In determining this, we follow the assumption that wherever the base text (GE1) had a short accent, FE1 also has the same accent type; this is also how the issue was dealt with in EE.
