  b. 19

None of the sources includes a  restoring b1 in the 3rd to last demisemiquaver. A comparison with two previous appearances of that bar – b. 1 and 5 (b. 2 is marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of b. 1) – proves that it was Chopin's mistake in A, not noticed in any of the remaining sources.
