Slurs in A, contextual interpretation

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)

Slurs suggested by the editors

The double slur, as written in A, was more than once used by Chopin. However, in the main text we give a single slur found in FE (→GE,EE), possibly introduced by Chopin while proofreading FE, as in bars 49-50. In bar 48 A has two unclear slurs, probably the result of some corrections with a not fully controled result.
