In A the arms of all 3 
marks in b. 9-11 are of a different length, which hampers the determination of their range. In the main text we assume that it is the bottom arms of each of those marks that are reliable, which offers coherent results – the hairpins in b. 9-10, which constitute a progression, are almost of the same range, while the one in b. 11 leads to an expressively important chord, which additionally breaks the scheme of the progression and introduces the final cadence.
None of those marks was reproduced correctly in all the remaining sources:
- the hairpin in b. 9 was clearly extended in FE (→EE);
- the mark in b. 10 was reproduced in FC (→GE) rather after the top, longer arm; FE (→EE) overlooked the mark;
- the mark in b. 11, although very clear, was overlooked in all the remaining sources.
