There is no reason why d
1 on the 2nd beat of the bar should not be accented, as was the case with the analogous crotchets in the previous and next figures. Therefore, it is most probably Chopin's oversight in A. Admittedly, the accent is also absent in Af, but this is not an argument for intentional omission of the mark, since in this manuscript Chopin put accents only in the first three figures, in bars 263-264 (moreover, these three marks must be regarded as a pattern to be followed further on, which, paradoxically, is rather an argument for an accent). Due to the above, in the main text we add this accent. In the editions, the absence of an accent also on the 4th beat of the bar is almost certainly an oversight.
