No markings in A

Our suggestion

Both dynamic indications in these bars were added by Chopin during a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). The  mark was placed at the beginning of the 2nd crotchet in bar 23, which is either a mistake (cf. bar 9) or an example of a notation's convention, sometimes used by Chopin, according to which the mark is not placed at the beginning, yet in the middle of its range of validity (cf. the Etude in C major, No. 1, bar 45).
