According to us, the mark in FE was inaccurately copied from the manuscript. After the eight-bar diminuendo and after defining the new level of dynamics (), most probably target, a common prolongation of the diminuendo by a fraction of a bar seems to be insignificant, hence it is highly unlikely that Chopin could have written it down in such a form. Due to the above reason, we suggest two possible interpretations of this mark, which are, according to us, more likely in this context.
