We consider the interpretation of accents in A in bars 15-17 as long ones to be more probable, as they emphasise the imposition of longer rhythmic values (crotchets) on the triplet figuration.

We consider the interpretation of A's accents as long to be more probable, as they emphasise the imposition of longer rhythmic values (crotchets) on the triplet figuration. In the editions, all accents were recreated as short ones.

The accent in A is clearly longer than the three previous ones. In GE, similarly as in the entire Impromptu – it was interpreted as a regular, short accent. The short accent is also in FE and EE

It is unclear whether the accents in A should be interpreted as short or long. In bars 31-32 it seems more probable to interpret them as short ones. Similar doubts concern analogous bars 113-114 and 117-118.
