It remains unclear how the copyist could have distorted the dynamic indication – after all, the indication in A is absolutely legible. Perhaps Fontana, who copied an earlier version of the Prelude, featuring cresc. in this place, remembered that indication and entered it into FC, not having noticed that Chopin changed the dynamic concept of the ending in the meantime. Anyway, nothing indicates that Chopin would have liked to return to the initial dynamic version.
