[] suggested by the editors

A comparison with the adjacent bars suggests that the  hairpin was overlooked here by mistake. The reason could have been, e.g. the graphic layout, in which the final semiquavers in the L.H. are written on the upper stave, as a result of which there was simply not enough space to insert a hairpin. In turn, it seems to be unlikely that the reason could have been the presence of cresc., since Chopin considered  marks and cresc. indications independently – cf. e.g. the next bar. Therefore, in the main text, we suggest adding a  hairpin after the adjacent bars (averaging its range).
