A short accent in the sources

A long accent, by analogy with bars 8 and 56

In analogous bars 8 and 56 A has long accents. Still, we retain the short accent here due to a different further course of music that could influence the sign chosen by Chopin. On the other hand, one cannot entirely rule out the possibility of inaccurate notation of that detail in A; we take that option into account as well. suggesting a long accent as an alternative.
