Long accent under R.H. chord suggested by the editors

It is difficult to say what Chopin's motives were when he put such a long mark in a place that appears several times (even if we limit ourselves to the strictest analogy, 4 times – bar 283 and previously bar 112 and 116) and that he marked with clearly shorter signs the other times – long accents (bars 116-118, 277, 281 and 285) or their slightly longer counterparts. Therefore, in the main text we provide a long accent. The position of the marks – see bar 277
