Continuous slur in A & FE

Separate slurs in GE (→EE,IE)

In the main text we provide the undoubtedly continuous A slur (although combined out of two fragments). In GE the slur in bar 5, which opens a new line (as in our transcriptions), was reproduced correctly, which means that it should be continued, but the slur's fragment in bar 4 reaches only the last quaver, e. EE and IE considered the slur in bar 4 to be correct, while FE guessed Chopin's intention.
