  b. 129-130

in A

in GE1 (→FEEE)

in GE2 (→GE3)

An alternative proposed by the editors

In  A, the dashes marking the extent of dim. appear only in bar 129. This may suggest limiting the binding scope of the dynamic change to that bar alone, which does not seem justified from the musical point of view considering the  in bar 131. In our opinion, inaccurate notation may be suspected here, and therefore we suggest adding the dashes in bar 130. In GE (→FEEE) the dashes were omitted entirely, a frequent error found in the editions. In GE2 (→GE3) Chopin's dim. was replaced with the equivalent abbreviation dimin.
