Accent on second crotchet in A

Accent on first chord in FE (→GE,EE)

The change of the position of the accent, which in A concerns the A1-A octave and in FE (→GE,EE) the chord at the beginning of the bar, must be considered as inspired or accepted by Chopin. While proofreading FE, the composer added an arpeggio mark and pedalling in the same place, hence it seems to be highly unlikely that he did not see the accent.
