According to us, the missing accent on the syncopated L.H. chord must be considered an inadvertence of the engraver of FE or of Chopin himself. This bar is a repetition of the preceding one, enhanced by the harmonic tension of the dissonant chord, which excludes a performance without accent. At the same time, both bars are the starting point for the structural stretto of the next two, in which crescendo is based on the accents derived from the syncopations of the discussed and preceding bars. The accent was already added in EE.
