In a proofreading of FE (→EE) Chopin reduced the number of accents in these bars, removing the accents at the beginning of the 1st and 3rd three-note groups of quavers. The change, together with a relevant correction of bars 1-4, homogenised the accentuation of the entire 1st eight-bar section of the Etude. In GE – probably due to an accumulation of mistakes – there are 4 accents in bar 6 and then only one in bars 5 and 7 (the accent in bar 5 was overlooked in GE3 and GE4). See also bar 8.
See b. 1-4
