Alternative interpretation of A

 in GE (→FE)

In the main text, we reproduce the range and placement of the  hairpin after A. In the editions, the sign was moved to between the staves, which, in this case, may, according to us, impede its correct interpretation. Placed like accents, over the melody, it seems to perform a similar function (as if of very long accents), emphasising the dynamic relationship between the suspension of eand its resolution, d2. Taking that into account, we regard the notation of bar 170 as clearer and we suggest a version with unified signs after bar 170 as an alternative solution.
