  & delicato in EL

In A1 Chopin wrote the  indication between the 2nd and 4th notes of the run. It is an example of the obsolete convention of placing indications within their scope, and not at the beginning or slightly before (cf. b. 58). The following dynamic hairpins differ in their range, which, however, is of no significance in this context. In the main text we reproduce the notation of CJ, which does not raise any stylistic doubts and probably reproduces the notation of [A2] pretty faithfully. The hairpins of EL adjusted to the semiquaver beaming must result from an editorial revision.
