4 hairpins suggested by the editors

Generally, the dynamic hairpin in GE is incomplete and erroneous in these bars. The traces visible in FE prove that the mistake was committed first in this edition, which, through a proof copy, went into GE. In FE (→EE) the signs were corrected and completed in the last phase of proofreading, perhaps with Chopin's participation. A possible reason of mistakes of the engraver of FE could have been the abbreviated notation of A with dynamic signs, which could have impeded their assignment to correct bars. In the main text we suggest signs of FE in bars 87-90, analogous to signs in bars 15-18 and perhaps corrected by Chopin. In turn, in bars 91-92 we give signs of A, since in FE the sign in bar 91 was probably accidentally overlooked.
