b. 137-138

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

..

The long accent in bar 137 is Chopin's well thought-out decision – visible traces of corrections (erasures) suggest that the composer initially wrote a  mark leading to the chord in the next bar. The orchestral parts are also provided with an accent in bar 138 (violins and cellos) or indeed a  (double-basses).

b. 162-165

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

Short accents in FE (→EE) & GE3

Possible long accent in bar 162 in GE1 (→GE2

..

The type of accents used in FE at the beginning of bars 162 and 165 is unclear – both marks are clearly shorter than the undoubtedly long accents on the 3rd beat of these bars; however, they are longer than the accents in, e.g. bars 175-176. We assume that local relationships are of a greater importance and we reproduce the accents as short ones. In GE1 (→GE2), the mark in bar 162 is shorter than the one in bar 165, yet it is still shorter than the accents in the second halves of the bars.
