 suggested by the editors
..

At the end of bars 20 and 22, in the main text we suggest to combine the  mark of the editions with the accents of AI, as Chopin marked it in analogous situations in bars 16 and 18. The version was introduced in EE3 (→EE4), probably on the basis of comparison with these bars.
