All source notations certainly mean the same – an accent referring to both notes struck in the middle of the bar. In the main text we adopt the version with two accents – see bars 13-14.

Same as in the previous two bars, all source notations certainly mean the same – an accent referring to both notes on the 9th semiquaver of the bar. Marking it with a pair of accents could have been introduced into the base text to EE by Chopin, although additions of single accents by the editor also seem to be likely.

In these bars Chopin was also looking for a deft way of marking the accents referring simultaneously to the parts of both hands (cf. bars 29-32 and 41-44). In the main text, in both texts we adopt pairs of accents used in FE – most probably by Chopin – in the 2nd half of bar 46.
