In A the signs in bars 233, 235, 237 and 239 start more or less in the middle of the 2nd group of semiquavers, and they end more or less in the middle of the last one. Although the beginnings do not raise any doubt, in the case of the endings, the notation is, according to us, inaccurate – the virtuoso flourish and brilliance of these figures requires leading the crescendos to the accented climaxes at the beginning of the subsequent bars. This is how the endings of the hairpins were reproduced in the editions, except for bar 239, in which the sign was overlooked by the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE). In GE1 (→FE→EE), the starting point of the signs was reproduced accurately only in bar 233; in the next two ones the signs start in the middle of the bar. GE2 includes the notation adopted in the main text.
