Accent above staff in A 

Accent under staff in GE (→FEEE)

Chopin's intention concerning the placement of the accent is uncertain. The change of its position in GE (→FEEE) is almost certainly of a random nature, since in the version of A (→GE), in which there is a sole aat the beginning of the bar, it does not influence the meaning of this sign. After adding the d2 note in FE (→EE), the position of the accent may suggest accenting the bottom or top note of the d2-afifth. In the main text we give an accent in the place where Chopin saw it while proofreading FE.
