The notation of the autographs does not explicitly reveal which accents were meant by Chopin in b. 18 and 22. According to us, in spite of them being similar – particularly in AF – to long accents, the marks are rather to be interpreted as short due to the rhythmic analogy with b. 20 and 24, which undoubtedly feature short accents.
In b. 22 in AF one can see a crossed-out short accent over the chord on the 3rd beat of the bar. Both accents in AI are also placed over the chords, which, according to us, does not influence the performance in this context.
See b. 17
