Although the hairpins in A have arms of different length, it seems natural, however, to adopt that they begin only in the middle of the bar. Hence we consider the longer sign in GE to be inaccurate. In the main text we also include the hairpins, probably added by Chopin in base texts to FE and EE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources |

The differ in A (→GE), FE and EE in the range of particular signs, however, the differences are most probably of an accidental character and do not influence the meaning of these indications. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Scope of dynamic hairpins |

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. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Scope of dynamic hairpins |

Particular sources differ quite significantly, as far as the range of hairpins is concerned. Taking into consideration the fact that the notation of A is not very precise in this respect and the fact that the signs in the base texts for FE and EE could have been written also by Chopin himself, in the main text we suggest hairpins of an average length and placement. Similarly in analogous bar 39. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Scope of dynamic hairpins , Inaccuracies in A |

It is hard to state which of the differently placed marks of different length is closest to Chopin's intention (see the note to analogous bar 37). In this situation, in the main text we suggest – similarly as in that bar – a compromise solution. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Scope of dynamic hairpins , Inaccuracies in A |
