Commutators of signed $n$-cycles

We show that for $n\ge 6$ each element of the commutator subgroup in the symmetric group ${\mathfrak{S}}_n$ resp. in the signed symmetric group $(\mathbb{Z}\mathrm{/}2\mathbb{Z}{)}^n⋊{\mathfrak{S}}_n$ is the commutator of two $n$-cycles resp. the commutator of two $n$-cycles with a negative sign product; with one exception. If $n\equiv 2$ $\mathrm{m}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{d}4$, the element $-\mathrm{i}\mathrm{d}$ of $(\mathbb{Z}\mathrm{/}2\mathbb{Z}{)}^n⋊{\mathfrak{S}}_n$ is not such a commutator. In the language of Coxeter groups, this yields a description of commutators of Coxeter elements in types $A$ and $B$.
