Slur from 2nd quaver in A (contextual interpretation) & EE

Slur from 1st quaver in GE (→FE,IE)

The A slur clearly starts from the 2nd quaver, as in analogous bar 10, 12, 193. On the other hand, the ending of the slur breaks off under c1, which is a patent inaccuracy. This explains the action of the engraver of GE (→FE,IE), who "corrected" both ends of the Chopinesque slurs. The later starting point of the slur in EE, accidentally compliant with the A notation, must have resulted from the engraver's inaccuracy or could even be a printing defect.
