Our alternative suggestion |
In FE (→EE), the reversed accent is probably a mistake of the engraver, which is indicated by the common accent in analogous bar 300. Therefore, in the main text we give an accent both in this and in the next bar, like Chopin marked it in bars 300-301. There is also a possibility that the 
hairpin in the 1st half of the bar was inaccurately placed – such a hairpin is present in (in bars 72 and 73) clarinet I in FEorch (→GEorch). The interpretation of the mark in GE1 (→GE2), graphically close to the version of FE, is, however, contrary to the actual sound of the orchestra, in which it is the chord in the middle of the bar that is played by the greatest number of instruments. GE3 tried to mitigate that discrepancy by moving the mark to bar 73, where it is a sui generis introduction to the authentic cresc. in bar 74.
