The lack of in FE (→EE1→EE2) results most probably from an oversight of the engraver. There is no visible sign of a hypothetical deletion of the sign during the proofreading of FE. The hairpin added in EE3 is the first from a few revisions of this kind introduced in this edition.

In FE (→EE), bar 25 ends with a slur and a tie going into bar 26 on a new line of text. However, in bar 26 only one of the signs finds its continuation. From the notation it is difficult to conclude whether the omitted ending was a tie or a slur.

FE omits the dashed line that marks the extent of the poco a poco crescendo. It is almost certainly a mistake, a rather frequent one in this edition (cf. notes to bar 41). EE supplemented the FE notation with dots linking particular words of the indication. This is certainly an arbitrary addition.
