No slur in A

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)

Our suggestion

Lack of the slur in A must be considered as an inaccuracy of the notation, as slurs in a similar context appear in A in 10 out of 12 places, while after Chopin's corrections in FE – in all cases. According to us, the graphic layout, applied only in this bar (not included in mUltimate Chopin), in which a1 is written in the bass clef and then the quavers in the treble clef, could have influenced both the omission of the slur in A and the scope of the slur added in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). The graphic gap between a1 and g1 contributes to the fact that the natural from the phrasing and articulation point of view slur beginning from a(see the remark concerning bar 1) becomes hard or even impossible to draw. Therefore, in the main text we suggest to begin the slur earlier.
