Slur in b. 135 in A, literal reading

Slur in b. 135 in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

Slur to b. 139 suggested by the editors

In A Chopin did not finish the slur he started writing in the preceding line in bar 135. It must be an oversight, hence in the main text we lead the slur to the beginning of bar 139, after a similar phrase in bars 119-123. The editions considered the ending of the slur in bar 135, suggesting that it should be continued, to be inaccurate, as a result of which it was led only to the last quaver in bar 135.
