Two long accents in FE (→GE1→GE1a) were certainly added by Chopin. They confirm the way in which Chopin understood all signs written with the first appearance of this phrase (bars 69-70). All subsequent versions are undoubtedly a result of inaccuracy or revision. We suggest to add the accent in the 2nd half of bar 74, as it seems highly unlikely that Chopin would want the last motif to be performed in a different way.
