In both known copies of EE2, the omitted accents were added by hand. They were also added in the later impressions of EE.

b. 8

composition: Op. 10 No 1, Etude in C major

No mark in CLI & GE4 (→GE5)

Long accent in FE

Short accent in GE1 (→GE2→GE3) & EE
..

The accent sign in FE is clearly different than in bars 1-2. Most probably, according to Chopin's intentions, it was supposed to be a long accent. Both in GE and in EE it was rendered as a casual short accent. In GE4 (→GE5) the sign was omitted, which was probably a mistake.

The accents in bars 38 and 40 in FE (→GE1) have a form suggesting the use of long accents by Chopin. In EE2 (→EE3) the signs were omitted. In the remaining editions common short accents were given.
