No slur in A (→FE→GE1op,GE1no2,EEC,EEW1)

Slur in GE2op (→GE3op), GE2no2 & EEW2

Our variant suggestion

While writing this place in A for the second time, Chopin overlooked the slur over the part of the L.H. (cf. bars 29-30). According to us, it can be considered an inaccuracy, hence in the main text we suggest to complete the slur. A similar addition was performed in later GE and EE.
