Like in the previous two bars, we assume the bottom arm of the hairpin in A to be reliable. The mark is absent in all the remaining sources, which is almost certainly a result of oversights:
- A few overlooked elements prove that Fontana was distracted at the time of writing the last line of FC – in addition to , it is also the L.H. slur and dashes marking the range of crescendo that are missing.
- While working on the last line, the engraver of FE probably omitted the stage of adding dynamic markings, since the hairpin is neither in b. 10 nor in b. 11.
