The interpretation of accents in A is particularly difficult in that bar, as neither the graphic analysis nor the stylistic one provide convincing arguments for considering them as long or short.

In this context the long accent seems to be more plausible in terms of interpreting the sign in A. In GE there is a short accent (same as in the entire Impromptu), while in FE and EE the accents were omitted.
