A long accent in A

A short accent in GE (→FEEE)

Distortion of  Chopin's notation resulted from the fact that the musical notation of the day did not have a separate "long accent" category and therefore a relevant standardized sign did not exist.

The fact that the sign was placed under the staff is nonetheless strange, as this was not typical for the editorial practices of those times.
