Dotted rhythm in A

Semiquavers in FE (→GE,EE) 

Chopin changed the rhythm of A while proofreading FE (there are visible traces of this change). The withdrawal from the rhythmic underlining of the topmost note of the passage may be related to a minor change in the Etude's concept, revealed also in increasing its tempo. See also bars 30 and 32.
