In this bar, it is unclear what kind of accents Chopin meant – in A the first two may be interpreted as long or short, the third one is long and the fourth one is short. A comparison with analogous bars – see bar 226, allows to resolve the doubt in favour of long accents. We discuss the fourth of them separately due to the sign's vague placement.
In GE1 (→FE→EE), the first and third accents were overlooked, which was corrected in GE2. All accents in the editions are short, although the sign in FE could be considered to be long.
