  b. 4-6

In bar 6, opening a new line of the text in A (→FEGE), Chopin wrote new  hairpins. However, the range of both this sign and of the previous one (in bar 5) clearly indicates the intention of a continuous crescendo in both bars. This is how it was reproduced in the editions in the written repetition of these bars (in EE the unambiguous notation was used already in the first appearance of this fragment). Taking into account the fact that in our transcriptions bars 5-6 are in one line of the text, we use one  sign, as the seemingly literal interpretation of both signs in such a graphical layout would have changed its sense to a much greater extent.
