No indication in FE (→GE,EE

 written into FED

() suggested by the editors

It is uncertain why  written in A was not included in FE (→GE,EE). Lack of the traces of a possible deletion of the mark allows to assume its omission by the engraver, e.g., in relation to lack of space between the staves. Due to this fact, in the main text we suggest a variant solution. At the same time, we move the indication to the beginning of the bar, as the way it is written in A suggests that it concerns the entire chordal ending of the Etude. This conclusion, as well as the very need for a dynamic indication in this place, is confirmed by Chopin's entry in FED
