It is difficult to say which version of slurring is later – Chopin could have separated the initial continuous slur while correcting [A] before handing it over to the copyist; however, the slightly undulating shape of the slur in FE could be indicating that the slurs were being combined in the proofreading of this edition. A possible correction is also supported by likely corrections in the two previous bars (rhythm and pedalling). Taking into account the above, in the main text we give the FE version, regarding the FC slurs, indicating the beginning of a new theme, as equal.
