The A slurs were almost certainly divided due to graphical reasons – Chopin would generally write slurs on the side of noteheads, often at the expense of accuracy, cf., e.g. I mov., bars 179-183. The fact that this version was left in A allows us to assume that Chopin considered both variants of slurs to be equal, hence in the main text we provide the continuous slur of GE (→FE,EE,IE).
