A has only dashes marking the range of an unspecified indication in these bars, most probably cresc. from bar 469 – see bars 475-480. The cresc. marking, appearing in GE (→FE→EE) at the beginning of bar 481, was added probably by Chopin as proofreading of incomplete indications of A, hence we give it in the main text.
Omission of dashes must be an inaccuracy of the engraver of FE (→EE).
