In A1, just like in b. 11-13, of which the discussed bars are a repetition, there is no  mark, whereas the range of the  hairpin is unclear. In FE (→EE) it was reproduced on the basis of the range of the top arm; however, according to us, it is the bottom arm that should be considered reliable, which results in a range equivalent to the version of GE. The absence of the  mark in EE means that it was added by Chopin in the last phase of proofreading of FE. In the main text we give the version of GE, in which both marks most probably reflect the notation of [A2].
