Accent in FE (→EE)

No mark in GE

Long accent suggested by the editors

Our alternative suggestion

The accent, placed in FE (→EE) over the non-played note, must have been inaccurately reproduced. According to Chopin, it could have applied to the b1-b​​​​​​​2 octave at the beginning of the bar or to d2 in the bottom voice. In the main text, we adopt the latter, since it interferes with the original notation to a lesser extent (we give a long accent, much more likely in this context). Omission of the mark in GE is probably an oversight.
