 below L.H. part in GC (→GE1) & EE

No sign in FE

 between staves in GE2 (→GE3)

When adding the  sign, Chopin probably omitted the base text to FE (see bars 15-16). The placement of the sign under the bottom stave could have resulted from the will to connect crescendo with the progression in the L.H. or due to lack of space between the staves. In the case of the latter, shifting the sign in GE2 (→GE3) would have been justified.
