The accents in bar 29 are clearly longer in #A than in bars 27-28 and 30. In GE1 (→GE1a), such longer accents were used in both discussed bars. The erroneous reproduction of the short accents of the autograph as long would not take place at all and it seems unlikely that Chopin would have liked to differentiate between the accents in these two bars. Taking into account the above, in the main text we give eight long accents.
