The GE version (→FE,EE,IE), in which the wedges over the octaves at the beginning of bar 10 and 12 were ignored and the entire bars were encompassed with slurs, indicates that the engraver of GE was firmly convinced that Chopinesque slurs were generally careless. However, in this case, adjusting them to clear rhythmic structures certainly does not correspond to Chopin's intention, since in all further appearances of this phrase (bars 193-195 and 376-378) he wrote slurs running from the 2nd quaver in the bar.
It is only the ending of the slur in bar 10 that is to be considered inaccurate; when interpreted literally, in A it reaches only b.
