Less likely reading of slur in AI & A (→FE→GE,EE)

More likely reading of slur in AI & A

Both in AI and A the slur beginning in this bar may be understood as embracing only the semiquavers or the entire motif. In FE (→GE,EE) it was the first possibility that was adopted, while according to the editors of mUltimate Chopin, it is the second one that is more likely – cf. bar 28.
The mark in AI is the only slur written in this manuscript from bar 37.
