Slur in A, interpretation

Slurs in FE (→GE,EE

In A the slur in bar 17 (the last one on the page) suggests a continuation, which is, however, not confirmed by the slur in bar 18. FE (→GE,EE) includes separated slurs. Taking into account the fact that the slur in bar 18 in A is evidently inaccurately written, we assume that Chopin's intention in this place was most probably one slur until the end of bar 18.
