Three long accents in GC

Two long accents in FE

Three short accents in EE

Three different accents in GE

Our variant suggestion

The missing accent in bar 223 could be considered to be an inaccuracy of the engraver of FE, if it were not for Chopin proofreading of the analogous fragment of the exposition, in which he removed, among others, the counterpart of the accent (see bars 93-96). On the other hand, the authenticity of three accents of GC does not raise any doubts, whereas the third accent added in EE may come from Chopin. Therefore, in the main text we suggest variant solutions.
All three accents of GC are long and it is in this form that we give them.
