Accent in A (→FE→EE)

No mark in FC (→GE)

It is uncertain whether the missing accent in FC (→GE) should be attributed to the copyist's distraction or whether it was added by Chopin in A (along with  in the next bar) after FC had been already prepared. Since in this theme we consistently adhere to the dynamic markings of FC, we do not give this accent in the main text.
