 in EE

GC (→GE) and FE

As we adopt the rhythm of FE for our main text, we give the beginning of the  sign after that source as well. GC (→GE) have the same version. However, in our opinion it is the hairpin in EE that conveys better what Chopin probably intended (cf. bars 113 and 129). Similarly in bars 389-390.
