No indication in AW

in CDP, GC (→GE), FE & EE

Chopin added the dynamic indication only in [A], yet still early enough for it to be copied both in CDP and in GC, and most probably also in the second, lost Stichvorlage copy. Similarly in bars 39-40. In turn, Chopin abandoned the agogic change in the final version – see bars 38-40.
