  b. 1-14

The dynamic hairpins written in A in bars 1, 2, 6, 10 and 14 were not printed in the editions and those in bars 5, 9 and 13 were inaccurately reproduced. Changes in the signs' range are undoubtedly accidental, therefore, in the main text we follow the notation of A. On the other hand, it is unclear whether the omission of the details can be fully blamed on the engraver's inaccuracy (or perhaps haste). The musical image transferred by FE, although less detailed, seems to be convincing and could have been accepted by Chopin. Therefore, we consider the two main, source sets of signs – A and FE – to be equal and we suggest them in the main text in the variant form.
