A long accent in A

A short accent in GE (→FE)

No accent mark in EE

A long accent of A was reproduced as a short one in GE (→FE); EE does not have any accent mark here. The comparison with the analogous bars, but first of all the pedalling added by Chopin in FE, make us consider the notation of A to be inaccurate in this case.
