The version of the editions can be regarded as justified and considered an acceptable variant – in A the discussed bar opens a new line, and it cannot be ruled out that Chopin forgot to write accents there. In the main text we keep the A notation, as the accents in the preceding bar can be considered models for the entire ascending sequence; moreover, taking into account the crescendo, a performance featuring accents is obvious.
