  b. 243

L.H. accent in A

No mark in GE1 (→FE→EE)

 in GE2

The accent over the sixth in the L.H. in the middle of the bar was overlooked in GE1 (→FE→EE) and returned in GE2 in the form of a sign at the height of the previous  sign. The notation of A is quite ambiguous here, yet Chopin clearly assigned the accent to the part of the L.H. in a similar figure two bars later.
