Additional crotchets in A

Omission of extensions of some of the bass notes is most probably a result of the engraver's inattention or of a misinterpretation of the notation (Chopin simplified notation is formally erroneous, as the rhythmic values of these crotchets do not fit in the bar). Chopin used a similar notation also in bars 20 and 71-76.
