Lack of the sign in FE is probably chargeable to the engraver of this edition. In GC this bar is only briefly marked as repetition of bar 10 and it was probably the same in the remaining Stichvorlage manuscripts. Therefore, if FE has an accent in bar 10, it should be repeated also here (unless in bar 10 it was added only at the time of proofreading, which, according to us, is, however, less likely).

In the 2nd half of the bar the only accidental in the part of the R.H. in GC and FE is a  raising d3 to d3. The notation, although inaccurate, determines also the sound of the 6th and 10th semiquavers in the 2nd half of the bar as d2 and d1. EE added a  before the 3rd semiquaver from the end (d1) and an unnecessary  before g2 in the 3rd group of semiquavers. It is only GE that includes the correct notation, in which alteration of the 3rd, 7th and 11th semiquavers to f3, f2 and f1 was indicated. See bar 11.

Same as in bar 12, in GC and FE there is no  raising g1 to g1. In bar 76 it is absent also in EE. The sign was added in GE.
