No markings in A (→FE→EE)

cresc. - - - in FC

cresc. in GE1

 & cresc. - - - in GE2 (→GE3)

In the main text we give the cresc. indication added by Chopin in FC along with the dashes marking its range within b. 654-663. Just like in b. 203-212, the dashes were overlooked in GE1 and added in GE2 (→GE3) while modifying the initial section of crescendo after analogous b. 71-72: cresc. was moved to b. 655, and a  was added in b. 654.
