Different interpretation of sources
..

The position of the  mark is insufficiently justified, as far as music is concerned – if the new phrase was supposed to be performed piano (following the previous forte), it should be performed so rather from the beginning of the bar. Therefore, it would be an example of applying the manner of placing indications within their scope of validity. However, the mark in [A] may have been only slightly moved beyond the 1st quaver in the L.H. due to lack of space between the staves. In the main text, we take an attempt to approximately reconstruct that placement; it can also be interpreted literally as ​​​​​​​ right after the beginning of the bar which would perform a double role – end the previous phrase and begin a new one.
