Long accent in A (→FE)

No mark in FC (→GE)

Short accent in EE
..

The missing accent in FC (→GE) must be a result of an oversight of the copyist. The short accent in EE is a typical revision of that edition, in which the majority of long accents were interpreted as diminuendo markings or short accents.

In A (→FE) there is no  before the last note of the roulade, raising d4 to d4. That inaccuracy, typical of Chopin, was corrected in FC (→GE) and EE. However, in FC the added  covered the small notehead, as a result of which GE1 interpreted the note as a small protuberance on a ledger line below that note, which resulted in c4. The mistake, patent in this harmonic context, was corrected in GE2 (→GE3).
