We suggest adding a  patterned after analogous bars 206-207. A marking, slightly shorter, was also added by the reviser of EE2 (→EE3).

In FE, there are no accidentals whatsoever in this bar. It is undoubtedly an error commited possibly by Chopin in [A] – cf. Etude in F minor, op. 25 no. 2, bar 56. Accidentals were added in both GE and EE:

  • the reviser of EE1 (→EE2) took the FE version at face value, and added a cautionary  before the lower note of the third on the 2nd quaver, thus confirming a1 there. This mistaken addition was corrected in EE3 after the analogous bar 59.
  • in GE the correct text was introduced immediately.

Hairpin in FE (→GE) & EE3

No mark in EE1 (→EE2)
..

The missing ​​​​​​​ hairpin in EE1 (→EE2) is a mistake of the engraver. The mark was added only just by the reviser of EE3.

Long accent in FE, contextual interpretation

Hairpin in GE

Short accent in EE
..

The mark placed in FE could be interpreted as a ​​​​​​​ hairpin, as in GE where it was even extended. However, in this context, it is most probably a long accent. The reviser of EE also recognized an accent in it, and reproduced it as a standard, short one. Similarly in bar 240.
