Slur from 1st quaver in A, GE & EE

Slur from 2nd quaver in FE

It is not clear how the shift of the beginning of the slur in FE occurred – one may assume Chopin's proofreading, yet an erroneous interpretation of A by the engraver seems to be much more likely, perhaps provoked by the shape of the left ending of the handwritten slur. Starting the slur from the beginning of the bar is supported by the slur beginning in analogous bar 55. A comparison with this bar could have contributed to leaving out the version of FE by GE and EE based on it. Similarly in bars 103 and 167.
