The poco a poco crescendo indication, carefully planned by Chopin over six bars in A, was reproduced in GE1 in a similar way, yet less logical and legible: dashes combining particular elements of the indication and showing its destination (
in bar 247) were overlooked and particular words were regrouped, by doubling the cresc. indication, which appears in bars 243 and 244. FE repeated the notation of GE1, adding – perhaps at Chopin's request – dashes between particular parts of the indication (in bars 241-244). The last notation was subject to further, seemingly logical changes in EE, as a result of which, however, the crescendo seems to be terminating in bar 244. The notation of GE2 is closest to Chopin's intention; it repeated the indications of GE1, yet adding dashes after the last cresc. until bar 247.
