Our suggestion

Four dynamic and expressive indications are squeezed in the editions as if they were supposed to concern the b1 minim at the beginning of the bar. It probably results from misunderstanding the notation of [A], in which particular indications could have been partially overlapping due to the lacking space between the staves. In the main text, we separate two groups of indications – > like in the previous bar and  dolce defining the character of a new phrase that starts here.
