 & cresc. in EE

None of the sources which were, directly or indirectly, based on A reproduce precisely the range of the  hairpins. In the main text, we faithfully adhere to the notation of A, in spite of the fact that beginning the crescendo only at the beginning of bar 25, where a new slur starts, may seem to be more natural. See also the note concerning cresc.
