Verbal indications

in A

in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The  indication, appearing in the editions, seems to be completely accurate after a few-bar-long crescendo and could have been accepted by Chopin. However, it is most probably only a result of a misinterpretation of A by the engraver of GE1. See also bar 249.

We give the cresc. marking, together with the dashes marking its range, after A (see also bars 263-264). In GE the marking was put slightly further and the dashes were overlooked, whereas FE (→EE1) does not have it at all. The absence of the indication in FE could be explained by a mistake of that edition or by a repetition of the original error of GE1, which was corrected in GE1 only in the last phase of proofreading. The indication was added in EE2 (→EE3) on the basis of comparison with GE1.

Dashes suggested by the editors

In the main text we suggest extending the dashes marking the range of cresc. until  in bar 264, in accordance with the musical sense.
