Short accents in A & GE2

Possible long accents in A

Accent in bar 53 in GE1

No accents in FE (→EE)

It is not entirely certain what kind of accents Chopin had in mind after  marks. The accents are longer than those in bars 57-58, yet it does not seem that it would be a significant difference. In turn, they are clearly different than the typical long accent in bar 55. Since the accents in analogous bars 57-58, 397-398 and 401-402 are clearly short, in the main text we adopt short accents. Subsequent omissions of accents in GE1 and FE (→EE) are most probably mistakes.
