The crescendo hairpins differ slightly in their range. In comparison with A (→GE), in FE the hairpins are extended on the entire penultimate triplet group. In EE they are totally absent (cf. remark concerning bars 7-9).

b. 8-9

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

Chopin changed the hairpins' concept in A: he deleted the crescendo hairpins in bar 9 and he prolonged the ones beginning in bar 8. Probably both changes were introduced at the same time: Chopin deleted the short hairpins in bar 9, planning to introduce a longer crescendo indication. In order to do that, he added an extension of the hairpins' arm from bar 8 or even the entire hairpins in two moves (the too short sign and extension).

The sources differ in placing the ending of the diminuendo hairpins. In A they end just before the 8th quaver, in FE and EE on the 6th, while in GE on the 9th quaver.
