Inverted accent in FE, contextual interpretation

Accent in GE & EE

The fact that the accent in FE (→EE,GE1GE2) is placed between the notes of the f1-f​​​​​​​2 octave is almost certainly a consequence of the first group of semiquavers in the L.H. having been written on the top stave (in GE3, the mark was placed between the staves). Therefore, in the main text we place the accent under the octave, just like in the previous bar. The reversed mark most probably stems from a mistake of the engraver of FE; it was recognised as a mistake already in GE and EE.
