The fact that an entire group of dynamic markings – 
in b. 350, cresc. ed animato in b. 354-355 and 
in b. 358 – is missing in FE (→EE) raises suspicions. The manuscript, in spite of few crossings-out, is perfectly legible; therefore, it is difficult to understand what could have provoked their omission. Could it have been Chopin that removed them in the proofreading? In FE and cresc. ed animato were omitted also in analogous b. 452 & 456-457, which could be considered an argument for a change of the concept of that fragment. In the main text we give them on the basis of the authority of A and FC, carefully elaborated by Chopin in terms of performance indications.
is discussed separately due to the revision introduced in GE2.
