According to us, the range of stretto was inaccurately conveyed by the engraver of FE (→EE) – it should last until ritenuto. An oversight of dashes is even more likely, since bar 149 opens a new line of text. Therefore, in the main text we suggest adding dashes accordingly. In GE, there are no dashes at all, which is a frequent inaccuracy of that edition. However, in this case, if our interpretation of Chopin's intention is correct, leaving stretto alone seems to be less misleading than marking its range inaccurately.
