b. 268
It is highly likely that Chopin overlooked the accents, since they are present in the analogous figures both in the previous bars and the next one. It is difficult to assume that Chopin would have wanted to forgo accents, especially the one on f1, which is crucial for the modulation to the key of the final polonaise. The transition to a new page in A (the discussed bar opens the page) was conducive to distraction. The indicated harmonic context suggests that it is also the addition of an accent only over d1 in GE (→FE) that seems to be a mistake or misunderstanding in the implementation of the proofreading corrections. Therefore, in the main text we include the revision of EE, which gives both accents, over d1 and f1.
