No markings in A (→FCGE, →FEEE) & ACh

 in AB & CGS

in FED

() – our variant suggestion

In the version prepared for print, as well as in ACh, Chopin did not mark the scale of the final crescendo. However, such markings are present in AB and CGS and in FED. In the main text we suggest (in a variant form – in brackets) the  written by Chopin in FED, since it is the only addition to the text of A (→FE) coming directly from the composer. According to us, the authenticity of the  indication of CGS also seems to be highly likely, which is a consequence of a long, close acquaintance between the copyist and Chopin.
