No sign in GE

Long accent in EE

Each of the three source versions of the range of the  sign may correspond to Chopin's intention. According to us, the sign has a nature of a long accent, emphasising both the dynamic relation of the delay of d2 and its resolution c2. Therefore, in the main text we give a sign on the basis of FE, which presents this double sense in the clearest manner. The absence of a hairpin in GE is certainly a result of an oversight (cf. the note on the tie).
