Slur to e2 in A, contextual interpretation

Slur to e2 in A (possible interpretation→GEFEEE)

According to us, the slur of A, extended by Chopin until the bar line, was supposed to lead to fat the beginning of bar 137. However, its range is not entirely clear, which was reproduced in GE – the slur in bar 136, at the end of the line, suggests a continuation, which is however absent in bar 137. We assume – same as FE (→EE) – that it means separated slurs, which are at the same time an alternative possibility of interpreting A.
