  b. 34-36

3 accaents in GC & FE (→EE)

2  in GE1

3  in GE2

The accents in these bars are in GE extended to form  hairpins. This inaccuracy could have resulted from Chopin's placing them – in contrast to bars 25-32 – below the notes, apparently associating them with neighbouring  signs. The sign in bar 35, omitted in GE1, was reinstated in GE2 as a hairpin like the other two.
