  b. 79

Inverted long accent in A & GE2

 in FE (→GE1,EE)

Short accent in GE3 (→GE4→GE5)

Accent written into FEJ

In FE (→GE1,EE), instead of the sign of a reversed accent, there are  hairpins between b1 and a1. The inaccuracy, clearly distorting the sense of the sign, was revised in GE2 and GE3 (→GE4→GE5) on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 47. In FEJ Chopin added an accent in pencil under the top stave, which, according to us, can be considered to be a temporary correction of the misleading notation of FE. 

See b. 47
