dim.,  &  in PE

The authenticity of the dynamic indications of PE in this bar (, dim., and ) is revealed by the insertion of the dim. indication inside the  hairpins, so characteristic of Chopin. The authenticity of the  sign in EF, defining a contrary concept, seems to be highly dubious in this case. See also the note in bar 34.
