FE1 - First French edition

In the main text we suggest accents as written down in EE. This solution combines the most certain elements of the versions of GE1 and FE:
- short accents after GE, since in FE each mark is of a different length – short, short/long, long, respectively – which cannot correspond to Chopin's intention;
- accents under the R.H. octaves as in FE, for reasons of consistency – in GE the remaining bars in this section (b. 111-124) do not contain any accents at all. The position of the accents in GE could have resulted from a routine revision of the engraver – in one-part notation, the marks are generally placed on the side of noteheads.
See b. 113-124
