Hairpins in GE

FE (→EE)

In GE, bar 81 is the last bar of the system. In this situation, a new  sign in bar 82 could, in Chopin's times, mean the continuation of the previous one and this is how it was understood in FE (→EE). We adopt that interpretation as definitely matching the musical sense of that fragment.
