Our suggestion

..

Both dynamic indications in these bars were added by Chopin during a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). The  mark was placed at the beginning of the 2nd crotchet in bar 23, which is either a mistake (cf. bar 9) or an example of a notation's convention, sometimes used by Chopin, according to which the mark is not placed at the beginning, yet in the middle of its range of validity (cf. the Etude in C major, No. 1, bar 45).

No slur in A

Slur in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

GE3 (→GE4)

..

The slur in the L.H. was added – probably by Chopin – in a proofreading of FE (→EE,GE1GE2). The slur clearly indicates continuation in the next bar (on a new page), in which, however, there is no relevant mark. In EE, in which bars 28-29 are not separated, the slur was led to the beginning of bar 29. In turn, in GE3 (→GE4) the slur's range was limited to three semiquavers.
