A probable long accent in A

A possible short accent in A (→GE→FE→EE)

Accent in FED  (possible reading)

Accent in FES (possible reading)

The editors' proposition

It is not certain what type of accent Chopin had in mind when writing A. Comparison with analogous bars 11 and 51 speaks in favour of a long accent. GE (→FE→EE) all have the short accent. Doubts also appear when we examine the versions of FED and FES, where we cannot be sure whether the accent is still valid for the fragmented melody and if so, whether it should be linked with the note f2 or with the 3rd beat.
