Accents over L.H. in FE (→GE)

Accents under L.H. in EE1

Accents in both hands in EE2 (→EE3)

It is difficult to say what EE1 was guided by when moving the accents under the chords, which may suggest accenting their bottom note, instead of the top one. The addition of parallel accents under the R.H. in EE2 (→EE3) rather did not bring the notation into line with the version of FE. However, one has to remember that it is uncertain whether FE reproduces the notation of [A] in a faithful manner, thus Chopin's intention in this respect.
