The correct phrasing of the motif in these bars, although not marked by Chopin, is undeniable, therefore, in the main text we suggest a slur based on the adjacent bars. The slur of A is a typical triplet slur and if Chopin had paid attention to this place, he would have probably added a phrasing slur or prolonged the existing one.

The slur visible in A under the semiquaver triplet is one of a few elements overlooked by the engraver of FE in this place (cf. the remarks concerning the accent and tie sustaining g2). The sign was added in GE and EE. Without a doubt, the slur plays here a double role – formal, as a part of the triplet's mark, and phrasing and articulation one.
