The stretto indication was most precisely written out in GC, where we know exactly the scope of the notated dashes. Neither EE nor GE shows it with scu precision. In FE there is no indication at all. However, we believe that the scope indicated in GC was not really based on Chopin's intention as it would be virtually impossible to perform crotchets in bars 643-644. Therefore, assuming the notation of GC is imprecise, we suggest limiting the scope of stretto only to bars 637-642.
