Verbal indications

b. 1

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

EE

FC3 (→FE→IE)

A, GE
..

In A and GE  there are no dynamic markings at the beginning of the piece. In FC3 (→FE →IE)  mark was introduced at the beginning of b.1; there's no reason to question its authenticity. Based on EE in the main text we present the marking in upbeat variant.

The  marking in FED is penciled in and must have come from Chopin, similarly in b. 48.

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

A, GE

FC3 (→FE→IE)

No marking in EE
..

In sources the dynamic marking appears on the first beat of the bar in A and GE, on the second beat in FC3 (→FE→IE) or is missing as in (EE)  most probably as a result of imprecise notation [FC].

b. 76

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

No marking in A, FC3 (→FE→IE)

Marking in GE, EE

Our proposed variant
..

There is no bracketed marking in A. It may have been added by Chopin in the lost copies but it may have also been arbitrarily added by the reviser. The  marking only appears in EE and GE.
