Long accents in AF, literal reading

Short accents in FE (→EE) & GE

In b. 110 and 114 Chopin initially wrote short accents over the R.H. chords in AF; eventually, he wrote the marks between the staves. However, the new marks are longer and narrower, which makes them resemble long accents. According to us, Chopin could have adjusted the font of the marks to the small space between the chords of both hands. We consider both interpretations to be possible, yet to the main text we choose short accents, compliant with those present in rhythmically analogous b. 112 and 116.
