It is uncertain whether the FC accent is to be interpreted as short or long. The latter, which we adopted, is supported by the length of the accented note, the kujawiak-like nature of the Mazurka and a similar (although slightly longer) accent in the Scherzo in B
minor, Op. 31, bar 18, in which Chopin's preserved autograph contains a clear long accent. We reproduce the GE mark as a short accent, since marks of similar length are most common in GE (in entire opus 30), and nothing indicates that they were treated as something unusual.
