A more probable interpretation of the slur in A and the slur of FE (→EE)

A less probable interpretation of the slur in  A (→GE)

As the slur in A is drawn with a bold stroke of the pen, in GE it begins on the 1st note of the bar. A comparison with analogous bars 17, 25 and 29, and the analysis of slurring of the entire fragment (bars 17-32) in A makes us conclude that Chopin meant a slur beginning on the 2nd crotchet of the bar. Such a slur can be seen in FE (→EE), which may be due to Chopin's correction.
