The meaning of slurs in A is not entirely clear (bar 54 is the last one on the page). The continuous slur in GE and EE seems to be closer to Chopin's intention than separated slurs in A.

Beginning the new line in A contributed to the imprecise slurring at the transition between bars 92 and 93. According to us, it is more probable that the slur in bar 92 is supposed to end on the d2 crotchet. In GE the whole is under one slur. The slur in FE, which begins in the 1st half of bar 93, is likely to be a mistake.

The beginning of the slur in A is unclear: probably it should start from the 2nd quaver. In GE and EE the slur begins from the sustained c2. FE continues the slur from bar 93.

The slur in A (→GE1) ends one quaver earlier than in analogous bar 12. It is probably due to an imprecise notation. The slur was prolonged to c2 in GE2 (→GE3→GE4), a similar slur is also in EE. In FE the slur is not interrupted at all.
