In the main text we suggest a variant solution that takes into account both the version of GE and that of FE (→EE). The two 
marks that can be seen in FE1 (→FE2, EE) could correspond to one longer mark in the autograph, as in Chopin's times publishers used to replace a single hairpin mark with two marks when it had to be divided because of a new line of text. For that reason we also propose an alternative version with such an interpretation of the marks. Due to differences in sources and clear analogies in the structure of motifs, the same problem also appears in ten other similar places in the Prelude (on this page in bars 10-11 and 20-21).
