No indication in A (→GEFEEE)

ritenuto in #Rorch

(ritenuto) suggested by the editors

The ritenuto indication is written only in Morch, in the part of clarinets. It is difficult to say why Chopin did not include it in A – perhaps he simply forgot it or did not feel the need to emphasise the slowdown he had already marked in bars 301-302 as poco a poco rallent., which is most probably still valid here (to bar 316). Due to the reminding nature of this marking, we suggest it in the main text in a variant form.
