In the main text we give the  hairpin entered most probably by Chopin into FC. We consider the top arm to be reliable, corresponding to the range of an analogous mark in bar 26. In GE the mark was led to the c2 quaver ending the bar, which suggests a longer crescendo than the one resulting from the Chopinesque entry.

As in bar 18, in the main text we give the  hairpin entered almost certainly by Chopin into FC. In GE the mark was clearly extended, which can interfere with the performance manner intended by Chopin.
