Articulation, Accents, Hairpins

b. 11

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

An accent in  A (→GE)

No accent in FE (→EE)
..

The lack of an accent in FE (→EE) is most probably due to oversight.

b. 12

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

A long accent in A

No accent in GE1 (→FE→EE)

A short accent in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The accent in A in this context should be considered a long one. The lack of any accent in GE1 (→FE→EE) must be a mistake. The (short) accent was supplemented in GE2 (→GE3).

It is not quite clear which one of the staccato signs– a dot or a wedge – Chopin had in mind here.
