  b. 70-71

No indications in JC

 in EF

 & other indications in PE

In the main text we give accurate and clear dynamic indications of PE. The striking effect of the unexpected harmonic turn, confirmed with a syncopation and resolved in a descending two-bar wave of figurations, appears in the Trio trice (in bars 70-71, 74-75, and earlier in bars 62-63). Each time it is described with details by Chopin. Cf. bars 72-73.

The lonely  in EF is probably an addition by Fontana and does not suggest the richness of the details indicated in PE even in the slightest extent.
