Long accent in A, contextual interpretation

 sign pertaining to one chord is intrinsically a long accent, and this is how we reproduce it in the main text. This kind of notation can also be found in later pieces, despite the fact that at that time Chopin already had his typical way of writing long accents –cf. the Scherzo in B minor, Op. 31, bars 6-7.
Similarly in bar 74.
