The deletions visible in A reveal that Chopin considered the dynamic markings over the R.H. part not suggestive enough and moved them lower, between the parts of both hands. None of the sources reproduced this notation accurately – in FE (→GE) the marks were placed too low, before the L.H. part, while GE overlooked . The revision of EE is noteworthy, i.e. the R.H. chords were moved to the top stave (which we do not include in our transcriptions), and each hand was provided with its own dynamic markings.
See also b. 256.
