The 
and 
indications added in EE1 may come from Chopin, added together with cresc. - - in the previous bars. However, their authenticity raises doubts:
-
leading crescendo until seems to be precocious, if we take into consideration the scale and the dynamic structure of the entire Marche;
- in EE the typeface of the dashes marking the range of cresc. is different in bar 60 than in the previous bars. It can indicate a later addition of dynamic indications in this place, which could also include the signs in bars 61-62;
-
in EE2 was changed to
, which, unless it is an arbitrary revision, may be a correction of an erroneous interpretation of Chopin entry in the base text to EE1.
There are three possibilities:
-
the strongly contrasting and indications in EE1 are authentic;
-
Chopin wrote only and , which was misinterpreted in EE1 and corrected in EE2;
- none of these indications is authentic.
In this case, in the main text we do not include the indications of EE, alternatively, we suggest, however, two variant solutions.
