The accents written in A in b. 413, 415 and analog. mean almost certainly the same despite differences, generally minor ones, in length and shape. The majority of the marks is rather short; however, four (b. 417, 425, 433 and 435) are definitely long, which makes us provide the main text with long accents only. At the same time, we add the accents Chopin overlooked in b. 419 and 431. We consider the version of GE2 (→GE3) with a complete set of short accents to be an alternative solution.
The mark in b. 435 was overlooked in FE (→EE), whereas the mark in b. 419 was added in EE

e2 in A (→FCGE, →FEEE1)

e2 in EE2 (→EE3)

..

The version of EE2 (→EE3) is an arbitrary revision, perhaps aimed at avoiding a flagrant (?) succession and harmony of a minor ninth, d1-e2.
