The differences in the range of the  hairpin resulted from routine revisions, adjusting the marks to rhythmic structures or beams – in GE1 (→GE2,EE,FE) on the left-hand side, while in FESB also on the right-hand side. The absence of the mark in GE3 is an oversight by the engraver. In the main text we reproduce the mark of A.

FE1 lacks both the  raising e1 to e1 at the beginning of the bar, and the  restoring e1 two quavers later. In EE1 only a  before the 1st quaver was added, while in FE2 was also added only a , but before the 3rd quaver! Therefore, it was either misplaced or supposed to be a . The text of GE and EE2 (→EE3) is correct.
