The exact ending point of the slur in bar 80 is not clear in A. Numerous examples of 'embracing' slurs in the entire opus 24 may be an argument for ending the slur on the 2nd quaver of the bar. This is how the slur was reproduced in GE1 (→FE→EE). However, 'pointing' slurs are also present in A, and in this case the context speaks for such understanding the discussed slur in such a way, as :
-
in this part of the work, in the mazurka rhythm
quavers are never separated from the crotchet that follows them; - in the alternative version of the ending of that phrase in bars 75-76 Chopin corrected slurring in A; the results of those corrections may be considered applicable also here.
GE2 (→GE3) have the slur reaching the crotchet on the 2nd beat of the bar.
