  b. 24

GE (→FE)

in EE

The crescendo hairpin appears only in EE, modelled probably on the sign in analogous bar 91 although placed differently, i.e. below instead of above the upper staff. However, in the editors' opinion the analogy here fails to include dynamics, as Chopin probably wanted the dynamic line of the phrase in bars 90-93 to differ from that in bars 23-26 – in the Nocturne ending more emphasis is placed on the last bar, provided with additional accents and the indication con duolo.
