Slur from 1st crotchet in A (literal reading→GEFEEE)

Slur from octave in A (contextual interpretation) & FED

The slur of A, when interpreted literally, seems to start from the beginning of the bar and this is how it was reproduced in the editions. However, both the previous slur, led to the beginning of this bar, and con duolo placed only over the second crotchet suggest that the new musical thought should begin just from the second crotchet. The intuition is confirmed by the Chopin entry in FED, in which the ending of the slur added over the roulade in bar 148 clearly separates the gcrotchet from the further course of music.
