cresc. in FE

cresc. - - in bars 33-34 in GE1

The twelve-bar crescendo (bars 31-42) was precisely marked in FC, EE and GE2 (→GE3). Shortening the range in GE1 is certainly a mistake of the engraver – the dashes were led only to the end of the page. The lack of dashes in FE has also to be considered an inaccuracy of notation.
