b. 124

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

Slur in A

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Chopin changed the slur for the lower voice (a-g) to a slur over the upper voice while proofreading FE1. The latter intentionally pertains probably to the whole R.H. part and therefore to the lower voice as well.
