Long accent in A

Short accent in GE1

Short accent in FE (→EE)

Short accent in GE2

The long accent over the penultimate semiquaver was erroneously reproduced in GE1 as a short accent under the last note. In FE (→EE) the accent was placed under the 1st note of the last four semiquavers, which may be a result of Chopin's proofreading. In the main text we give the version of A, since it is uncertain whether Chopin actually changed his mind on accents in the ending of this bar; even if it was him that corrected the text of FE in this place, he would be changing the erroneous accent adopted from GE1 and not the text of A
