No marks in GE

Short & long accent in FE

Short accent in bar 36 in EE

In the main text we include the long accents written in A1. An analysis of the crossings-out and corrections in that autograph suggests that Chopin added the accents while performing the last corrections in the finished manuscript, probably after [A2] had already been written. The composer's intention is also confirmed by possible Chopinesque proofreading of FE in b. 37: the fact that the accent was added in the last stage of proofreading is indicated by the absence of the mark in EE.
