The first octave in the L.H. in A is a quaver, so that the bar includes only 7 quavers. The mistake was corrected in GE (→FE→EE), by replacing the quaver with a crotchet, which we consider an accurate interpretation of the notation of A: Chopin probably erroneously repeated the rhythmic value of the chord in the R.H., as it was in the four previous bars.
