Slur from c1 to g1 in A, literal reading

Slur from c1 to a1 in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

It is difficult to imagine that the literal interpretation of the A slur, which does not include 3 (or 2) outermost quavers belonging to the chromatic scale, could have corresponded to Chopin's intention. Therefore, we consider it one of the many inaccuracies of A in this respect; in the main text we include the interpretation of this slur adopted to GE (→FE,EE,IE).
