Slur in A, EE & GE2 )→GE3→GE4)

No slur in FE (→GE1)
..

FE (→GE1) omitted the slur in the L.H. It is undoubtedly an engraver's inaccuracy. Cf. the neighbouring note.

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

Slur in A

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Chopin changed the slur for the lower voice (a-g) to a slur over the upper voice while proofreading FE1. The latter intentionally pertains probably to the whole R.H. part and therefore to the lower voice as well.

Slurs in FE (→GE,EE)

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

Tie to g in A, GE2 (→GE3→GE4) & EE2

No tie in FE (→GE1,EE1)
..

The absence of the tie of g is almost certainly an oversight of the engraver of FE. The tie was added in later GE and EE certainly on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 33.
