  b. 83

in A (→FE→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)

No sign in FC (→GE1)

The missing  hairpin in FC (→GE1) must be a mistake of Fontana, who overlooked a few dynamic markings further on – in b. 84, the  hairpin in b. 85 and the accents in b. 86 and 87. The addition of that mark in GE2 indicates that the text of FE was used at random at the time of revision.
