  b. 248

Rhythm without rest in A (→GE)

Rhythm with rest in FE (→EE)

Shorter rhythmic values certainly stem from Chopin's proofreading in FE (→EE). The aim was most probably to differentiate the performance of bars 248 and 252 in a more distinct manner due to the harmonically different continuation in bars 249 and 253.
