Eventually, Chopin marked the emphasising of the bottom notes of the figuration, doubling the melody, indicated in AI with accents, with bigger note heads. Convergence with the accents of EE2 (→EE3), added undoubtedly by the reviser (cf. bars 40-41), is accidental.

The dynamic indications of AI represent their previous edition. In the remaining sources, one can see the final concept, while the versions of FE and EE, in which the  sign is shorter and  falls on the end of diminuendo, seems to be more natural in this context.
