The typical long accent visible in A was reproduced in GE1 as . In subsequent editions, the sign would adopt a varied form, which was caused by a different density of notation and minor shifts, resulting from distinct habits of the engravers.

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

Long accents in A (→GE1)

Short accents in FE (→EE) & GE2

..

The change of the font of accents is a characteristic inaccuracy of first editions. In this case, it is the correct interpretation of Chopin's intention in GE1 that is more puzzling, since the first two signs in A are clearly longer than the remaining two and one could expect they would have been reproduced as a  hairpin.

b. 104

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

3 different accents in A

2 short accents in GE1

3 short accents in FE & GE2

3 vertical accents in EE

..

In GE1 the second out of three accents was overlooked and the difference in their length was not taken into account. The overlooked accent was restored in the proofreading of FE (most probably by Chopin) and in GE2. The change of font of the accents in EE is a typical revision of this edition.
