  b. 59-60

The slur of A (→GE→FE→EE) read literally

 

It is not clear when the slur exactly begins in A. Taken literally as it is, it begins on the 3rd beat of bar 59, and this is how it was presented in GE (→FE→EE). Yet, a frequent manner of making the slurs too long in A justifies an opinion that Chopin could intend that slur to apply to bar 60 only.
