Stravinsky Three Pieces Third Movt

I'm brushing up on the Stravinsky Three Pieces predominately the third movt. I was considering the dynamic markings and written in 'hairpins'.

I am using the Chester edition from 1993 (brought as a student) which is a type of urtext edition without actually claiming to be.

Stravinsky clearly marks Forte d'un bout a l'autre (from beginning to end). The next marking is sombre le son subito. I'm not sure what everyones thoughts are here but I marked some time ago a piano but it occurs to me to be more of a timbral shift in a way that might mean to 'take the edge off the tone' from the original forte marking. If we considered it that way that might make the cresc. markings redundant. Was Stravinsky purposfully contradicting himself with these markings or was he showing us direction of phrase with these markings?

Curious to hear opinions
