It is not clear which beginning of the slur is definite or authentic (it is easy to find slurring inaccuracies when reading Chopin). Both solutions can be justified in musical terms by phrase structure and harmonic flow:
-
slur beginning with b. 351 indicates prediction of Scherzo's main theme in LH and emphasises progression to a C
minor dominant chord that started in b. 335; - slur beginning in b. 352 is a natural continuation of the rhythm of phrasing.
