In Chopin's times, two consecutive hairpins 
visible in A (→GE1→FE→EE) could mean either two crescendos or a single longer dynamic change. The contemporary convention in which the broken hairpins are used for the second option was already known, yet it had not completely replaced the older type of notation. In this case, the notation of the marking in bar 59 in A very clearly suggests that Chopin intended a continuation, i.e. one crescendo. This is how his notation was interpreted in GE2 (→GE3) and how we give it in our main text.
