It is not clear whether according to Chopin the sign at the beginning of the bar was supposed to be a long accent, as it can be considered on the basis of GC and GE2, or rather a diminuendo, as it was written in FE (→EE). Taking into account the fact that in each of the cases the sign refers to the R.H., the difference in the performance may be imperceptible. To the main text we adopt an interpretation of the base source, i.e. FE.
The absence of the sign in GE1 (→GE2mar) is undoubtedly an oversight.
