We consider the additional crotchet stem next to B to be a mistake – apart from this place, in the entire eight-bar section (bars 232-239), it is only the accented, topmost notes of the bass voice that are prolonged. That voice creates a lively, dance phrase, marked with the indication ben marcato and separated with staccato dots or accents – the discussed crotchet would have blurred this clear image. Cf. bar 235.
