Literal reading of slur in A (→FE)

Possible interpretation of A & slur in GE & EE

Interpretation of A suggested by the editors

The slur of A in bar 39 unanimously suggests a continuation, which is, however, not confirmed in bar 40, on a new page, where the slur is missing. In FE the slur was correctly reproduced in terms of graphics, yet it is hard to assume that Chopin had such a slur in mind. Both in GE and EE the slur was extended in such a way to dissipate the doubts concerning its scope. We suggest a different interpretation.
