The version of the editions (with rests) can be considered an equal variant, since Chopin himself used this version in analogous bars 355-357. In the main text we keep the A notation, as, formally speaking, both versions are inaccurate, and the performance – synchronisation with the R.H. part – is determined by the way the notes are arranged. This is a record of "harmonic legato" – holding one's fingers on the keys in order to achieve actual chords within a linear sequence.
