Accent in FE (→GE,EE)

In the main text we give the accent added probably by Chopin in the stage of proofreading FE (→GE,EE) instead of , which was present in A. There are a few examples of Chopin reducing the number of  markings in the refinement stage, e.g. in the Etudes, Op. 10 – in A minor, No. 2 or in E, No. 11.
