In the main text we provide the 
hairpin after A. However, it must be said that in this case the prolonged GE mark (→FE,EE,IE) does not differ that much from the A mark in terms of its meaning, while it is certainly compliant with the natural shape of the figuration. Bearing in mind that in the case of such elements as slurs, dynamic hairpins or long accents the A notation is often inaccurate, one can consider the version of the editions to be an acceptable variant.
