Chopin added the over two-bar-long hairpin in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4). It was also repeated in EE2. Similarly in bars 129-131. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

It is unclear how the difference in the way of indicating crescendo in bars 127-128 occurred. The sign could have been added by Chopin in GC, however, according to us, it can be considered an addition (enhancement) to the verbal indication. In the Chopinesque notation, a verbal indication generally indicates a global dynamic increase, generally related to a progressive harmonic sequence and often including a few bars, whereas the hairpin generally concerns shading of the melodic line. Therefore, we also suggest a solution combining both versions of the indications, in which cresc. - - - in bars 127-128 is continued next to the hairpin, probably in accordance with the performance intended by Chopin – see also bars 135-136. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections in GC |

Same as in bars 121-123, the sign was added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4). It was then repeated in EE2. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

GE1 overlooked the initial, falling on bar 135, fragment of the hairpin. The mistake was corrected in GE2. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

In the main text we include the sign written in GC (→GE). The shorter hairpin in FE1 (→FE2→EE) is probably inaccurate; its removal in FE3 (→FE4) also seems to be a mistake – crescendo is so natural here due to the quickly ascending progression and accumulation of harmonies due to pedalling.
