  b. 41-42

Continuous slur in AI, A (→GE) & FE

Two slurs in EE

According to us, the division of the slur in EE is most probably a result of misunderstanding Chopin's intention by the copyist or the engraver (in A, bar 42 opens a new line of the text, which contributes to inaccuracies in the notation of slurs).
