in FE (→EE)

No marking in GE

The missing  in GE seems to be an oversight of the engraver of GE1. However, performing this highly spectacular passage in  dynamics is quite an uncommon effect, so that one can ponder whether the mark was not put in FE by mistake, e.g. instead of in bar 256, in which it was then added. Therefore, it would be an example of unfinished proofreading. (Cf. bar 248, in which a purely virtuoso element – scale in an interval of sixth – is dynamically distinguished between ​​​​​​​ in bar 244 and leggierissimo in bar 250).
