Our variant suggestion

At the beginning, Chopin marked the dynamic highlight of the endings of these bars with long accents (AI), which he then replaced with hairpins and the crescendo indication (editions). According to us, the indications do not have to be incompatible (cf. analogous bars 63-66), hence in the main text we suggest a possibility of considering the accents.
