No slur in A

Slur e-f in FE (→GE,EE)

The slur in the L.H. combining e with f in the next bar was added by Chopin most probably in the proofreading of FE1. The need of adding this slur resulted from a change in the graphical layout – in A the slur over the part of the R.H., written on the bottom stave, concerns the entire chords, hence also the top voice of the L.H.
