FE (→EE)

The editors' suggestion

The sign from A was inaccurately reproduced in GE as clearly shorter on its right side. In FE (→EE) the hairpins were moved, which was most probably connected with the changes of the melody contour introduced by Chopin. In our proposal we combine the two approaches, giving the left-hand side of the hairpins after  FE as better matching the changed melody line with the right-hand side of the hairpins after A  reaching suggestively the culminating point.
