  in Ap

No signs in FE (→GE,EE) 

The pairs of hairpins in bars 19, 21 and 23 visible in Ap are not contrary to the general crescendo, as they mainly concern the melodic line. The meaning of short  signs is unclear (cf. bars 20-22); according to us, they should be interpreted here as diminuendos matching the preceding them crescendos. We do not consider them in the main text.
