In bars 71, 73, 75, in the main text we give long accents, placed over the bottom stave and probably written by Chopin in FC. It is not clear why this notation was not reproduced in GE – probably the notation of bars 17, 19, 23, 25, 27 and 77 was considered to be more accurate and it was generalised for all analogous bars. It cannot be excluded that the engravers of FE and EE followed this pattern, so in these editions the authenticity of the graphical shape of the accents is also uncertain.
The missing signs in bar 73 in FE and EE is most probably a result of an oversight.
