  b. 31

dimin. in A

No indication in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

The GE engraver (→FE,EE,IE) probably omitted the verbal indication to make the engraving process easier – dimin. could have seemed superfluous in the face of the diminuendo hairpin in the same place (the second  under the L.H. part was also omitted, perhaps on the same basis). Cf. mov. IV, bars 266 and 268.
