 in A (→GE), FE & EE

In AI, there are no dynamic indications in these bars, while in A Chopin introduced dim. in bar 35 and  in bar 36. We find this version copied in CDP. However, while reviewing A before handing it to the copyists preparing base texts for FE and EE, Chopin changed the concept – he deleted dim. and added  before .
