The slurs of A (interpretation in context)

 

The slur of  GE1 (→FEEE)

The slurs of GE2 (→GE3)

..

The slur in A, despite its reaching quite far to the left towards the 1st crotchet, definitely begins from embracing the chord on the 2nd crotchet. Still, in GE (→FEEE) the slur begins on the 1st crotchet. The result of corrections halfway through bar 30 is not obvious at the first glance and  GE1 (→FEEE) do not end the slur at that point. A more detailed analysis of the notation reveals that Chopin divided the original slur, which was probably already noticed in GE2 (→GE3).

A slur and a dot in A

A dot in GE (→FEEE)

..

We give the markings of A. In GE (→FEEE) only the dot was left, which is probably the result of inaccurate reading of the manuscript. The slur was probably added in A after the deletion of the sixth on the 3rd beat of the left hand, so there is no reason to omit it.
