In A the bottom note of the 4th quaver was corrected by Chopin from g to a (similarly in bars 2, 5, 6 and 22). In the 1st bar, the result of this correction is not that obvious, at the first sight, and the version of EE proves that probably the copyist preparing the base text for this edition misinterpreted Chopin's intention.

The effect of diminuendo, indicated by Chopin in these bars, results from the previous  or  at the beginning of bar 19. As in the main text we adopt  after FE and EE, we give dim. also on the basis of these sources (at the end of bar 19). In A Chopin moved this indication half a bar later (to bar 20); this correction could have been performed still before introducing  instead of .
The total or partial lack of dashes marking the range of diminuendo is almost certainly a result of an inaccurate reproduction of notation of the handwritten base texts by the engravers.
