An alternative proposed by the editors

..

In  A, the dashes marking the extent of dim. appear only in bar 129. This may suggest limiting the binding scope of the dynamic change to that bar alone, which does not seem justified from the musical point of view considering the  in bar 131. In our opinion, inaccurate notation may be suspected here, and therefore we suggest adding the dashes in bar 130. In GE (→FEEE) the dashes were omitted entirely, a frequent error found in the editions. In GE2 (→GE3) Chopin's dim. was replaced with the equivalent abbreviation dimin.

Accents in A

GE1 and EE

FE and GE2 (→GE3)

..

The two accents were clearly written in A as a short one and a long one. In GE1 that difference was disregarded and two short accents were put in. That version was revised in GE2 (→GE3) by lengthening the first accent (against A). FE also presents a similar version, which was changed to two equally short accents again in EE (following the general tendency of that edition).

No pause in A (→GE1FEEE)

A pause in GE2 (→GE3)

..

In GE2 (→GE3) a pause sign, obvious in this context, was added over the rest in the L.H. part. Making the notation more specific in that manner is advised in the scores of works for more than one performer, but in piano music it is not necessary.
