Hi Andrew, I don't think it's odd notation as the G and B flat would be held by the fingers while the C and F are lost by the pedal change after the first crotchet. The A is a quaver to get your hand out of the way of the right hand figurations.
But I'm not sure that this is what Chopin actually wrote. The 1st edition on petrucci.mus.auth.gr/imglnks/usimg/9/95/IMSLP85374-PMLP02344-Chopin_Op_28_Breitkopf_6088_first.pdf doesn't have the F in that stave (see screenshot below). This comment doesn't help for the C of course. What edition are you using, Knute? <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t4036/Screenshot-2018-4-12_IMSLP85374-PMLP02344-Chopin_Op_28_Breitkopf_6088_first_pdf.png> Peter Andrew Bernard wrote > Odd music.
