  b. 92

No dynamic markings in GE (→FE)

added in EE1 (→EE2)

added in EE3

Both added in EE1 (→EE2) and in EE3 are definitely arbitrary additions introduced by the revisers of EE copying authentic signs from similar bar 9. However, in this passage they are clearly unjustified for they do not fit different dynamic shape of the phrase in neighbouring bars: in bar 91, and accents in bar 93.
