Different slurs in sources |

Slur to A |

Slur to G |
In the sources the slur in bar 95 encompasses only this bar, while in bar 95/119 reaches G
in the next bar. Interpreting the range of Chopinesque slurs may be quite troublesome, hence such a difference most probably means that in the manuscript the slur ended ambiguously, and the publisher – consciously or not – reproduced it twofold in the copy of [A] prepared as the basis. Both versions can be considered equivalent, and to the main text we choose the longer slur as being more natural at the end of a phrase.
A similar problem concerns the 
hairpin in these bars.
