The FE slurs may be authentic, although the random nature of this variant rules out a serious change of concept. Chopin could have added these two four-quaver slurs in a place in which the copyist or the engraver overlooked the actual shorter slurs. They indicate rather musical articulation (motifs) than a pianistic gesture, as the L.H. slurs written in A in bars 95-96 and 99-100.
