It is difficult to say whether the A slurs are inaccurate or whether Chopin indeed wanted to encompass with them only the pair of chords at the end of bars 116-118. The comparison with analogous bars 283-286 suggests that the discussed slurs are inaccurate, since two out of the three slurs there clearly go beyond the bar line, indicating the A
chords as their final notes. Due to the above, in the main text we give the FE (→EE) slurs, considering them a contextual interpretation of the A notation. The GE slurs are based on the literal interpretation of A.
