  b. 664-665

No indication in A (→FE→EE)

dolce in bar 664 in FC (→GE1)

dolce in bar 665 in GE2 (→GE3)

According to Chopin, these bars were supposed to be an exact repetition of b. 213-214. Therefore, in the main text we give the dolce indication in b. 664, in accordance with the Chopinesque entry in b. 213 in FC (→GE1). In subsequent GE the indication was arbitrarily moved to b. 665, probably by analogy with b. 81-82.
