No signs in AI & FE (→GE)

  in A

Long accents in EE

Our suggestion

In FE (→GE), omission of the pair of short   hairpins visible in A in bar 34 is most probably a mistake. In EE in both bars long accents (diminuendoes?) modelled after bars 30-31 were arbitrarily added. In the main text we give the signs of A in bar 34, together with a proposal of adding them by analogy in bar 35 (in bars 30-31 Chopin marked both bars).
