The slur in A and GE2 (→GE3)

The slur of GE1 (→FEEE)

Slurs in FED

The editors' proposition

..

In A, the notation of the beginning of the slur in bar 41 (the first one in a new line) suggests that the slur is carried over from the previous bar, yet no slur begins in the previous bar. The comparison with analogous bars also speaks in favour of beginning the slur from bar 41. Despite that, in GE1 (→FEEE) the slur runs from the 3rd beat in bar 40. In FED, Chopin added a short slur linking two neighbouring measures in bars 40-41, although in FE they are embraced with a single slur. Our proposition takes into account the two slurs written in Chopin's hand in A and FED.
