Accent in AI

 in A

 in GE, FE & EE

The type of accent used in AI may raise doubts. We interpret it as a long accent, as the sign is clearly bigger than the short accents in bars 6 and 10. In the final version, Chopin rejected the accent, choosing a pair of   signs in this and the next bar instead. In the main text we give the hairpins in a form being compatible with the notation of A to the greatest extent.
