The slurs in bars 9-10 in AT may be interpreted in two ways. According to us, the divided slurs are much more likely here – while drawing the slur over bar 9, Chopin dragged the line too far, broke it and entered a new slur from the beginning of bar 10 (a similar situation occurred with the previous slur, starting from bar 7 and whose ending in bar 8 was, however, marked more clearly).
