As was the case with stretto in bar 290, più mosso was almost certainly added to A after [FC] had been finished. When interpreted literally, the indication begins over the 2nd crotchet in the bar, which suggests that the tempo should be increased only just starting from that place. However, it is uncertain whether it actually corresponds with Chopin's intention, since in his autographs one can quite often encounter the remaining elements of an earlier manner of placing markings within their scope (cf. bar 109), which in this case would require a tempo change already at the beginning of the bar. This is how it was interpreted in EE2, in which the indication, repeated after GE1, was moved to the beginning of the bar. In the main text we reproduce the A notation; however, the EE2 version can be considered an equal variant.
