The con forza indication must apply to the R.H., since the L.H. dynamics was defined already in bar 13. The fact that it was placed between the staves could have been forced by extra-musical issues – in FE, there is simply no space above the R.H. part. If the indication was present in [A] above the R.H., Chopin did not have to take care of its precise placement. Due to this reason, in the main text we place the indication above the beginning of the phrase it applies to.
