The accent of A interpreted in context.

 Literal reading of the accent in A (→GE→FE→EE)

The accent mark in A is written inaccurately: the short mark is put after the note to which it refers. In GE (→FE→EE) the accent was understood as a short one, but in this context the use of a long accent by Chopin seems more probable.
