The long accent, written in AI, was not included in the version prepared for print. Chopin probably considered the 
hairpins in the 1st half of the bar to be sufficient, therefore, we do not suggest an accent in the main text. However, we cannot exclude that the accent was overlooked by the composer at the time of writing A, as both signs can be considered as complementary.
