  b. 24-27

Continuous slur in A (→FE→EE)

New slur from bar 27 in GE1

New slur from 2nd beat of bar 26 in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5)

The phrasing slur at the transition to a new line between bars 26 and 27 was erroneously broken in GE1. In GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) the moment of the slur's division was moved two crotchets earlier. Although such a division of the slur is pianistically justified, it was deleted by Chopin in A (one can see a connection of the slurs in this place).
