No slur in FC (→GE1) & EE

Slur in FE & GE2 (→GE3)

In FC (→GE1) and EE, lack of the slur running from the last quaver of the bar allows for a supposition that in FE the slur was added by Chopin at the time of proofreading of this edition. The slur was also added in GE2 (→GE3), most probably after analogy with bars 40-41.
