Short accents in #FE (→GE,EE)

Long accents suggested by the editors

The accents in the L.H. in bars 245 and 247 have different length in FE, but they do not seem to be long, so both GE and EE reproduced them as short. According to us, it is still possible that Chopin wrote long accents in [A], which is indicated by the slightly longer mark in FE in bar 247 and evident long accents in the orchestral part of FEorch (clarinet I and bassoon I).
