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.
