The 
hairpin written in A1 in b. 39-40 was ignored in FE (→EE), just like the staccato dot and the arpeggio mark in b. 40. The absence of the mark in GE may mean that Chopin decided not to use that indication in [A2] (→GE). However, one could easily provide other explanations: a mistake of the engraver of GE1, Chopin's oversight or even the mark having been added in A1 later. Taking into account the above, in the main text we suggest an alternative solution.
