Slur to 7th quaver in A

Slur to b. 127 in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

The GE slur (→FE,EE,IE) having been led to the beginning of bar 127 was an arbitrary decision of the engraver of GE. Pianistically and musically speaking, such a slur would be justified, yet Chopin did not write such long slurs, neither here nor in any analogous bar. In the main text we provide the A slur.
