In the main text, we suggest a long accent, since the shorter mark in FE is most probably related to its atypical placement between two top elements of the chord.

It may indicate that the engraver considered them to be diminuendoes ( category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents |

), 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.
