Contrary to the previous two bars, the missing mark cannot be considered a patent oversight. In spite of a similar figure in the L.H. part, the bar performs a different function within the four-bar section (bars 456-459) than the remaining three – while the previous two bars are independent units with a clear climax in the middle of the bar, the third one is a part of a two-bar structure and it prepares its climax falling at the beginning of the fourth one. In turn, the accent in the fourth bar emphasises a new note, signalling the change of harmony and transition into the next phrase. Therefore, in the main text we leave the version without accent; we suggest adding it only in an alternative version. The accent was added also in GE3.
