No slurs in AI

Two slurs in FE (→GE,EE)

Two-bar slur suggested by the editors

The slurs in FE (→GE,EE) are broken, yet according to us, it is probably an inaccuracy in the reproduction of Chopin's intention – in FE bar 30 opens a new line of the text, which, on a number of occasions, led to errors and inaccuracies in the notation of slurs.
