Slur end in A (→GE→FE→EE)

A less probable reading of A

The moment when the slur ends is not quite clear in A. For the reasons discussed in the note to bars 79-80 we consider it much more probable that Chopin intended the slur to reach B on the 2nd beat of the bar. This is also the interpretation given by GE (→FE→EE).
