Short & long accent in A1, literal reading

2 short accents in FE (→EE)

No accents in GE

The accents on the 3rd beat of these bars were most probably removed in the proofreading of FE, which is proven by small characteristic traces left. Since Chopin replaced them with the cresc. indication and , we do not include them in the main text.
The issue of the length of the accents: see b. 60-64.

Just like in b. 65-66, in the main text we give the cresc. indication in b. 81 and  in b. 82, added by Chopin probably in the proofreading of GE1 instead of the removed accents on the 3rd beat of those bars.
