Contextual interpretation of A suggested by the editors

..

In bars 41-44, similarly as in bar 40, the slurs in A are written in a very imprecise manner. One can see in these bars corrections and deletions, which also intensifies the difficulties at the time of interpreting the composer's intention. In the main text we give a probable interpretation of A taking account of Chopin's correction in FE in bars.43-44 and analogous bars. As variants, we give interpretations of engravers or revisers of FE (→EE), GE1 and GE2 (→GE3GE4).

..

In FE (→EE,GE1) there are no portato articulation signs over the chords – dots under the slur (the slur starts only in bar 50). It is a result of Chopin's mistake in the abbreviated notation of this bar and simplified correction of this error in FE.
