in A (→FE)

in EE

We regard the hairpin , shorter than in the remaining three analogous bars, as an imprecision of the notation of A (→FE) – in bars 38-41, Chopin extended similar signs. EE also extended the corresponding hairpin accordingly. A further shortening of the sign in GC (→GE) results probably from the transition to a new line in bar 95.
