Short accent in FC (→GE), FE & EE

Long accent suggested by the editors

Our alternative suggestion

In the main text we suggest a long accent on the basis of Chopin corrections in analogous bars. In an alternative proposal, the accent is placed over the stave, which can correspond to Chopin's latest decision. Similarly in bars 25 and 27.
