  b. 80-81

Literal reading of slur in A (→FE→GE)

Slur in A, possible interpretation, slur in EE

Probable interpretation of slur in A

The slur of A runs to the end of bar 80 and this is how it was reproduced in FE (→GE), preserving the ambiguity. According to us, both natural in this context interpretations may correspond to Chopin's intention.
