  b. 21-22

No sign in A (→FC→GE, →FE→EE)

in FES

(), our variant suggestion

It is problematic to assess the range of the  hairpin entered into FES most probably by Chopin – the arms of the mark are clearly of a different length, which happened often to Chopin. According to us, it is the top arm that is reliable, probably written first, from right to left.
