According to us, the virtuoso panache and brilliance require rather accents than diminuendos, hence in the main text we interpret all marks of A as accents (long and short). The  marks printed in GE (→FEEE), even longer than in the notation of A, hinder the interpretation of a possible intention of the composer even more. Shift of the accent at the end of bar 485 must be an inaccuracy of the engravers of GE1 and FE1.
