No mark in A (→FC→GE) & EE

Short accent in FE

Long accent, our alternative suggestion
..

The accent in FE, unless the engraver confused this bar with the next one, was added at the stage of proofreading (carried out by Fontana). Therefore, its authenticity is dubious; we omit it in the main text. However, if we were to admit that it could have come from Chopin, it would probably be a long accent, like the next two.
