Different slurs in AI, contextual interpretation

Short slur in A

Longer slurs in FE (→GE,EE)

Over the semiquaver motifs in bars 10 and 11, in the main text we give the consistent half-bar slurs, introduced by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE) in the place of the generally shorter and rather randomly placed slurs in the autographs.
