Slur in EE and FE

Slur in GC

Slur in GE

Differences in the slur scope are probably the result of Chopin's inaccurate notation in the autograph (or autographs). As all the sources are unanimous in a similar situation found in bars 12-14, we are allowed to consider the slur of GE as best reflecting the composer's intention.
