  b. 15

No sign in AI & CDP

Long accent in A, literal reading

 in A (contextual interpretation →GE1→GE1a)

 in FE

 in EE & GE2 (→GE3)

The sign in A may be considered as a long accent, yet according to us, it is much more likely that Chopin had diminuendo hairpins in mind, closing the dynamic wave in this bar.
