The difference in the scope of the dashes marking the range of the cresc. indication are probably non-authentic. The lack of dashes – total in FE and partial in FC – is most probably a result of inaccuracies of the engraver and copyist. The engraver would often forget about the dashes, whereas the copyist would lead his to the end of the page, which makes their later omission highly likely. The version of GE1 is certainly erroneous (dashes led to the end of the line), while the addition introduced in GE2 (→GE3) – non-authentic (which, however, does not exclude its compatibility with Chopin's intention). In this situation, we consider the version of EE to be most certain, in which the range of dashes can correspond to both the notation and intention of Chopin.
