The notation of the autographs does not clearly reveal which accent was meant by Chopin here. According to us, in spite of its graphic resemblance to a short accent, a long accent is more likely due to, above all, Chopinesque proofreading of analogous b. 115 as well as due to a very similar situation in the Mazurka in A
Major, Op. 24 No. 3, b. 5, 9 and analog., where Chopin wrote long accents in three out of the four written-out places. However, we recommend a short accent as an alternative solution.
See b. 17
