Slur from b2 in FE (→GE,EE)

Slur from a2 suggested by the editors

According to us, it is highly likely that the slur, perhaps inaccurate in [A], was misinterpreted by the FE engraver (→GE,EE). Leaving out one semiquaver contradicts the general legato indication, provided by Chopin at the beginning of this variation (cf. also the slurs in similar motifs in bar 69, 79 and 82). Therefore, in the main text we provide a longer slur.
