The  hairpin has arms of different length in A; however, one may safely assume that it reaches the 4th quaver in the bar. Therefore, the clearly shorter sign in GE (→FEEE) is certainly inaccurate. What is more, the accent, falling in A on the 5th quaver in the L.H., was assigned to the R.H., extended and moved to the end of the 1st half of the bar (cf. bar 243). In the version of FE, the sign already looks like a second accent (under the note) on the 7th semiquaver in the R.H., which probably made the reviser of EE omit it.

In the main text we reproduce the signs of A, yet we lead  to the end of the 1st half of the bar, in accordance with the musical sense and the notation of analogous bars 243 and 245.
