in GC (→GE) & EE2

No marking in FE (→EE1)

In the main text we include  written in GC (→GE) and then repeated in EE2. No sign in FE (→EE1) is probably an accident, as it seems to be highly unlikely that Chopin wanted to leave the idea of emphasising with a dynamic sign a place in which the melodic climax combines with a harmonic breakthrough (reaching the dominant in the general key). Cf. notes on  signs in bars 153-156 and 158-160.
