Eight long accents in GC

No marks in FE

Nine long accents in EE

Eight short accents in GE1

Nine short accents in GE2 (→GE3)

Lack of the accent at the beginning of bar 17 in GC (→GE1) at the beginning of bar 17 is most probably Chopin's oversight, who would add accents in these bars in GC. The sign is present in EE, whose base text was also probably completed by Chopin in this way. The accent was added in GE2 (→GE3) too. In FE there are no accents of dynamic character in bars 15-20.

In GE all accents were interpreted as shorts, contrary to the compatible, distinct notation of GC and EE (cf. the short accent in bar 20).
