Accent on d2 in AI

Accent on c3 in CDP

 & accent on c3 in GE2 (→GE3)

The earlier version of AI enables to observe the changes in the dynamics and accentuation of this bar – Chopin moved the accent from the first to the 4th beat of the bar and added  in the 1st half of the bar. The sign of accent in A, written inaccurately, was undoubtedly erroneously reproduced in GE1, which was only partially corrected in GE2 (→GE3). The interpretation adopted in the main text is confirmed by the signs in FE and EE.
