b. 108-110

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

A possible reading of the slurs of A

A probable reading of A (→GE→FE→EE)

The completed notation of the slurs of A
..

The slurring in A is unclear due to discordant notation of bar 108, the last one on the page, and bar 109 that begins a new page. GE (→FE→EE) have a single continuous slur in those two bars. In FE, the slur in bar 109, the last bar of the line, ends erroneously on the last quaver (its continuation in bar 110 is written correctly).
