Lack of  signs in FE (→EE) is probably a result of a less precise marking of [A1]. The comparison with analogous bars in the entire Prelude indicates a possibility of an inaccurate (incomplete) notation also in GE. Due to that fact, in the main text we propose to complete the sign in bar 72. We also give an alternative proposition (one-and-a-half bar  sign), based on the prevailing in GE way of marking similar bars.

The main text based on GE and FE2 and the version of FE1 present two possible interpretations of dynamic signs in this place. Shorter hairpins in EE probably result from an attempt to avoid crossing  with the slur in the L.H.
