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.

The slur b1-c2 in EE is certainly a mistakenly interpreted tie sustaining a1 (cf. the notation in A). Playing the a1 already at the beginning of the bar may result from a previous edition of this place.
