Both basic sets of indications – decresc. in bar 26 in A and GE and  in bars 25-27 and decresc. in bar 27 – are certainly authentic, yet it is unknown which of the versions is later. In the main text we give the differentiated indications of FE and EE, in the shape transferred by FE (we add dashes marking the range of decresc. after A, as omitting them is one of the most frequent inaccuracies of the first editions, which is proved by, for example, GE1 in this place).
