In all sources, except for GE and EE2 (→EE3), there is no  returning g1 in the 3rd chord in the R.H. It is a characteristic for Chopin, patent inaccuracy (in analogous bar 8 Chopin wrote a relevant sign in A). In GE a  was added also before g2.

The pair of  signs, present only in FC, was certainly added by Chopin. The hairpins were repeated in GE and later also in EE3, yet the range of signs in these editions is closer to these written in bars 39-40.
