No indications in JC

crescendo diminuendo in PE
..

In the main text we give the more precise notation of PE, yet the markings of EF generally describe the same performance, in which the peak of the crescendo wave, starting in bar 83, falls at the beginning of bar 87.

..

The indication sempre legato, visible in PE, is most probably authentic; juxtaposing such a kind of indications with slurs is characteristic of Chopin's notation.
