A grace note without a slash through the stem in A

A grace note with a slash in GE (→FE→EE)

In the edited text we preserve the notation of A, despite the fact that a slashed grace note represents the actual execution more accurately here. Chopin did not always adhere to the conventional rules of musical notation for grace notes.
