Determining which type of accents Chopin had in mind at the time of writing A is not an easy task. The marks have different length, yet it is rather a result of a hasty notation than the will to differentiate them. According to us, this fact supports the decision to consider them as short accents, being the most natural solution in this context. This is how they were reproduced in FE (→GE,EE). Due to the described doubts, we also give long accents as a possible interpretation of A.
