cresc. e ritenuto in FE (→EE,GE1→GE1a→GE2)

cresc.  ritenuto in GE3 (→GE4→GE5)

In AI there is none of the indications written in A (→FE→EE,GE1→GE1a→GE2) in these bars, yet there is a  sign in bar 16. The editions overlooked the dashes determining the range of the indications, which is a frequent mistake in the first editions of Chopin's works. In GE3 (→GE4→GE5) there is no "e" conjunction before ritenuto in bar 16.
