Short accent in AF (literal reading→FE→EE) & GE

Long accent in Af, contextual interpretation

Just like in b. 19, the notation of AF is inconclusive as to which type of accent was meant here by Chopin. According to us, due to Chopinesque proofreading of analogous b. 115, a long accent is more likely. However, we recommend a short accent as an alternative solution.
