Slur from bar 272 in GC (literal reading→GE) & FE (→EE)

Slur from bar 273 in GC (probable interpretation)
..

In the editors' opinion, starting the slur from the last crotchet of bar 272 does not conform to Chopin's intention. Three preceding bars are notated in GC only as a repetition of bar 269; the same was certainly true for [A]. In such a situation it seems probable that the slur over bars 273-276 was supposed to encompass only the written out phrase taken from the middle section of the Scherzo.
