Short accents in #FE (→GE,EE)

Long accents suggested by the editors

In FE, three subsequent accents under the dotted quavers, although they look like short ones, are of a slightly different length, related to the length of the beam above them. It may indicate that the engraver considered them to be diminuendoes (), which, in turn, points to the use of long accents by Chopin. Cf. similar motifs in the 1st mov. of the Concerto, bars 4-6.
