Long accents in GC & EE

Different accents in FE

Short accents in GE

Three out of four accents in GC are undoubtedly long accents, the fourth one (in bar 8) may be interpreted as either long or short. In GE they were reproduced as short. EE includes distinct long accents in all these bars, FE – only in bars 9-10, yet the one in bar 7 may also be considered as long. Therefore, it seems that the use of long accents by Chopin is much more likely here.
