  b. 109-112

A more probable reading of the slurs of A (→GE2→GE3)

A less probable reading of A (→GE1→FE→EE)

Bar 111 opens a new line in A. This, as is often the case in Chopin's autographs, brings about some ambiguity related to the extent of slurs. The slur in bar 110 clearly suggests continuation, which is not confirmed by the slur from bar 111. The conclusive slurring in bars 105-108 makes us consider a single slur to be much more probable than the two slurs printed in GE1 (→FE→EE). The interpretation concordant with our conclusion was adopted in GE2 (→GE3).
