A very probable long accent in A

 No accent mark in GE1 (→FEEE)

Possibly a short accent in A (→GE2GE3)

The type of accent used by Chopin in A is not quite obvious, yet both its shape and the comparison with analogous bars (120 and 122) clearly point to a long accent. In GE1 (→FEEE) the accent was omitted and in GE2 (→GE3) a short one was added.
