3 long accents in FC

6 different accents in FE

3 short accents in EE1 (→EE2)

3 short accents in GE1

3 short accents in GE2 (→GE3)

5 short accents in EE3

In the main text we give long accents written with Chopin's hand in FC instead of short accents placed in a way it can be seen in EE1 (→EE2). The long accents on the 2nd and 3rd beats were also introduced in the proofreading of FE (without deleting the original ones). According to us, it was a simplified correction, aimed at both replacing the short accents under the stave with long ones and at removing the accents on the 11th and 15th semiquavers (see the next note). The meaning of the signs placed closer to the top stave probably raised doubts of Chopin's pupil, as FED includes accents added in pencil directly over the 9th and 13th semiquavers of the bar.
