Separate slurs in A, contextual interpretation

Separate slurs in A (possible interpretation→GE)

Continuous slur in FE (→EE)

In A the slur over the final triplet was placed inaccurately – its beginning is closer to the preceding semiquaver, while its ending reaches the next bar. According to us, both ends were written with a flourish, and the slur is to be interpreted as a slur encompassing the triplet only, as in analogous bar 78. However, in GE it also encompasses the semiquaver. The continuous FE (→EE) slur, which could have resulted from Chopin's corrections to [FC], can be considered an equal variant.
