The sources differ in the range of the hairpins, which in the majority of the cases does not however significantly influence their musical sense. In the main text we give the marks based on A, as nothing indicates that Chopin changed anything in the remaining sources. From the graphical point of view, it is the text of GE that is most distant from the version of A, in which there is an accumulation of effects of inaccuracies of the copyist and engraver. However, according to us, the major risk of distorting Chopin's idea stems from the notation of EE in which the dynamic climax seems to fall on the 3rd quaver of the bar.
