Accents in GE3

In such figurations, accents cannot refer to the L.H. part only, which can be suggested by the notation of the sources. According to us, Chopin most probably wrote the accents between the parts of both hands, which could not be repeated in print. This is confirmed by the notation of the first two accents in the R.H. in bars 142-143, which were probably added only just in the proofreading – the marks are narrower than the remaining ones in order for them to fit under the octave sign, which could have been placed slightly higher if the insertion of accents had been planned from the very beginning (the proofreading most probably concerned all 5 accents, but there was no place for the remaining ones). Taking that into account, in the main text we add accents over the R.H.
