Slur in bar 29 in AI

Two-bar slurs in A (→FEGE,EE)

The isolated slur of AI does not pose a real alternative to the consistent slurs of A and the editions. In turn, it may demonstrate that while writing AI, Chopin still did not have a precise concept of slurring of bars 10-16 and 26-32 – perhaps he had already rejected the short slurs of As (cf. bar 10), but he still did not decide how to distribute the points of division of the planned longer slurs.
