  b. 43

in FC (→GE)

No sign in FE (→EE)

In a different situation, the  mark, added by Chopin in FC, could be considered a long accent on the 3rd beat of the bar. However, in this case, a comparison with analogous bars 7 and 15 reveals that it is the interpretation adopted by GE that is correct – a  hairpin from the 2nd beat to the end of the bar.
