Slur over pair of sixths in A

Two slurs in FE (→EE)

Slur e1-d1 in GE1no2 & GE1op (→GE2op→GE3op)

Slur c2-b1 in GE2no2

Over the pair of minims in bars 133-134 and 149-150 in the main text we give the slurs written in A. We consider a possible proofreading of Chopin in FE (→EE) to be only an ad hoc intervention, correcting the misleading reproduction of these slurs (preserved in the majority of GE).
