In the main text we give the 
hairpins on the basis of A. The marks, written by Chopin's hand and coherent with the indications of the analogous phrase in bars 25-26, do not raise any doubts. Moving the mark under the stave in FE (→GE,EE) could have been a result of graphic difficulties (lack of space), yet this extension cannot be explained in this way. Perhaps Chopin introduced the mark in a proofreading of FE, as he wanted to prepare the beginning of the longer crescendo in bars 29-31 more clearly.
