Quavers in A

Semiquavers in GE (→FE→EE)

According to us, the use of the semiquaver beam in the editions is a result of inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1. In A similar groups are written as quavers in all three analogous bars (bars 14, 33 and 82) and it does not seem that Chopin would have preferred to change this notation.
