Long accent in FE (→GE)

Short accent in EE

The mark over the 3rd beat may be interpreted as an accent – long in FE (→GE) and short in EE – or a short diminuendo hairpin. However, the latter is highly unlikely from the practical point of view, since after the previous , performing this motif    could easily deprive it of clarity. Due to this reason, we assume that the marks represent accents.
