Long accents suggested by the editors

In the main text, we interpret four  marks in these bars as long accents. Thus, we demonstrate the difference in indications with respect to analogous bars 100-103, in which similar marks are clearly longer and separated with repeated  indications. After all, it is highly likely that different lengths of marks in [A] were not so regular or meaningful, since the Chopinesque  hairpin, unless preceded with a ​​​​​​​ mark, generally also indicates an accent. According to us, Chopin most probably meant both fragments to be performed in the same manner.
