Slur in GC (possible interpretation→GE1) & EE

Slurs in GC (probable interpretation), FE & GE2 (→GE3)

In GC both the end of the slur in bar 4 (at the end of the line) and the beginning of the slur in bar 5, starting the new line, are written with such an extensive movement that they can be interpreted as one slur. According to us, it is, however, more likely that Chopin wanted to emphasise the beginning of the theme with a new slur.
