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.
