Short accents in FE

Long accent suggested by the editors

The accents in the R.H., present only in FE, could have been added by Chopin in the proofreading of this edition. According to us, it is, however, more likely that Chopin wrote in the base text only the first accent, while in FE it was multiplied, interpreting the repetition signs, used for an abbreviated notation of the following semiquaver groups. Taking this into account, in the main text we suggest only one accent and due to the fact that it closes the regular rhythmic and melodic structure of bars 71-80, we adjust its shape and placement to the previous accents.
