Slur in AI

A

FE (→GE,EE)

The slur of A gradually fades due to the ending ink, hence it is uncertain where it was supposed to end, according to Chopin. The short slur of AI is probably fragmented (cf. bars 2-4). In the main text, we give the unambiguous slur of FE (→GE,EE), which could have been proofread by Chopin.
