The indication espressivo is written in the sources in the form of an abbreviation: espres. in A, espress. in FC (→GE), FE and CGS and esp. in EE. In the main text we explain the abbreviation, which was probably used due to lack of space in A to write an entire word. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Abbreviated indications |

FE is lacking the dashes determining the crescendo's range, which is supposedly the engraver's oversight. Such errors were quite frequent in Chopin's first prints. Division of the word crescendo into syllables in EE is probably a revision of that edition (cf. bars 25-26), although such a notation can also be found in Chopin's autographs. The abbreviation cres used by Chopin was replaced by us with the currently adopted conventional abbreviation cresc. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Abbreviated indications |
