..

A bears the traces of deleted pedal markings in this bar. Considering that this bar differs from the analogous bar 25 by a single note only, one could suspect a misunderstanding here, yet the basic assumption that should be made is that Chopin actually wanted to add variety to one of the four similar phrases.

The extent of the hairpins   in A is very clear. Nonetheless, in GE1 (→FE→EE) the mark was stretched over the entire bar. That inaccuracy was corrected in GE2 (→GE3).
