A slur added in FES
..

The line added in FES may be a slur, yet it is not certain. The sign may be a teaching hint rather than a suggestion of alternative phrasing. The traces of removing a longer slur (extending from the semiquaver f sharp1 to g1 in bar 62) in A  prove that Chopin's decision was a well-thought-out one. Therefore we do not take the entry of FES into consideration in our main text.
