No slur in A (literal reading) & FE (→EE1)

Slur in A (contextual interpretation→GE) & EE2

In A this bar ends a page and does not contain a slur. However, in the next bar Chopin wrote an ending of a slur reaching the 1st note and started a new one from the 2nd note. This undoubtedly proves that the absence of a slur in the discussed bar must be considered a mistake, hence in the main text we add the overlooked fragment of the slur, starting from the last minim, which seems most natural due to the change of register of the minim chord sequence. This is how this notation was interpreted in GE, while EE2 added the slur after GE.
