Long accent in A, possible reading

Short accent in GE (→FE,EE)

No mark in IE

The accent mark in A is longer than the one in bar 65, hence we reproduce it as a long accent. However, it is also likely that this difference is of a random nature, while the interpretation compliant with Chopin's intention is the one adopted by GE (→GEFE,EE).
The absence of the mark in IE is most probably an oversight.
