Dashes in A

 in GE (→FE→EE)

Omissions of dashes marking the range of a dynamic change is a typical inaccuracy of Chopin first editions. The  sign, added perhaps by Chopin in the proofreading of GE1, seems to be an ad hoc attempt to correct this inaccuracy, see the adjacent note. Due to this reason, in the main text we leave the notation of A.
