 in AI & A

FE (→GE,EE)

In the main text we suggest an average interpretation of the range of the  hairpins in AI and A. The minor difference between the autographs is almost certainly insignificant and it results from the graphic nature. It is particularly the slightly earlier beginning of the sign in A that is a result of bypassing the previously written indication con forza. In FE (→GE,EE) the sign – which clearly starts from the beginning of the bar – was radically shortened in order to avoid a clash with this indication – cf. bars 38-40.
