  in EE

  suggested by the editors

The dynamic hairpins of FE and EE were most probably added by Chopin still in the copies, being base texts for these editions. Thus it is difficult to state whether it is EE with a pair of signs that is later or FE with  only. In the main text we generally adopt the indications of EE, as being the most complete; we modify only the range of the first  sign (in bar 26) on the basis of FE, considering the interpretation of the manuscript by the engraver to be probably inaccurate (cf. even shorter, compatible signs of FE and EE in bar 27).
