Mostly long accents in FC

Double accents in FE

4 short accents in EE

6 short accents in GE1

6 short accents in GE2 (→GE3)

Long accents suggested by the editors

We reproduce the long accents in bars 74 and 76 on the basis of FC, in which Chopin corrected the accents in a few analogous places and he probably added them also in these bars (at least some of them, e.g., the last two in bar 74). The long accents are present also in FE, yet as a whole, the notation of this source seems to be a result of simplified corrections of the original notation with the accents under the part of the L.H. (similarly in bars 78-80). The missing signs in the 2nd half of bar 74 in EE are probably a mistake – see the next note.
