Possible interpretation of A

 in FE (→GE,EE

The interpretation of the  mark written in A presents a number of problems. It undoubtedly concerns the part of the R.H., in fact, only one note – d2. Therefore, it could be considered as a kind of reversed long accent. The  hairpins visible in FE (→GE,EE) actually have a similar meaning and they were not questioned by Chopin at the time of proofreading, thus we adopt them in the main text.
