In one-bar passages, Chopin generally writes accents between the parts of both hands. There where a sign would have to be placed on ledger lines in the middle of the bar, e.g., in the discussed bars or in bars 67-70, Chopin most often writes it under the part of the L.H. As there is no doubt that the accent is valid for both hands, we add the sign over the part of the R.H. Actually, it cannot be excluded that such a notation was used by the composer himself in the base text to EE – cf. bars 43-44. See also bars 45-46.
