In A the four accents in these bars do not differ in size from the next three ones in bar 43. Nevertheless, in GE (→FE) they were reproduced as long accents, which seem more accurate if we take into account the long rhythmic values of the accented chords. Long accents are also supported by them having been shifted beyond the note (although the shift is minimal) and by them having been written slightly more distinctly in bars 44-46, and particularly in bar 52.
The short accents in EE and IE resulted from an inaccurate reproduction of the GE notation; their compliance with the A notation is accidental.
