In A (→FC) these bars are numbered from 1 to 8. Those digits were then used to mark b. 41-48 in an abridged manner. Fontana used the first two digits to mark in such a way b. 9-10 too, which resulted in GE omitting the accents and moving the cresc. from b. 10 to b. 11.

Accent in A, contextual interpretation

No mark in FC & FE (→EE)

Staccato dot in GE

..

In A (→FC) the L.H. part is marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of b. 3. When expanding on that abbreviation, both FE (→EE) and GE omitted the accent, probably considering it to refer to the R.H. However, Chopin would actually associate accents with the L.H., which is proven by the notation of b. 12, in which the accent is put over the L.H. chord. In FC, unlike in A, the accents in b. 1-3 are placed closer to the R.H. part, which somehow justifies the omission of the accent in GE, but not the addition of a staccato dot in this place.
