  b. 47-49

Slur in A, contextual interpretation

Slurs in FE (→EE, →GE1→GE1a→GE2)

Slur in GE3 (→GE4→GE5)

A does not include slurs in bars 47-48, while the slur in bar 49 is unclear and blurred. The slurs adopted in the main text were added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2). In subsequent GE,s the slurs in bars 47-48 were overlooked, which is most probably a mistake.
