  b. 5-6

The slur end in  A (→GEFEEE)

The editors' proposition

The slur in A finally trails off shortly after the minim d flat2, yet we clearly see that Chopin ran out of ink, which suggests that the slur was meant to reach slightly further. This guess finds confirmation in longer slurs in the analogous bars 8 and 10. We resolve the question of whether those slurs reach the semiquaver or extend to the crotchet on the 2nd beat of the bar in favour of the latter option, as those slurs are actually more phrase marks than articulation slurs.
