Inverted long accent in A

in FC (→GE1)

in FE (→EE)

in GE2 (→GE3)

Long accent, our alternative suggestion

The mark in A, like in analogous b. 332, is most probably a reversed long accent, and this is the version we give in the main text. All the remaining sources reproduced it inaccurately, moving it to the right and sometimes also extending it. We suggest a common long accent as an alternative version, as written by Chopin in FC in analogous b. 332. It is likely that the change was also to apply to the discussed bar: overlooking proofreading one of the analogous places is one of Chopin's typical inaccuracies.
