No slur in sources

Slur suggested by the editors

Sustaining the e bass note suggests that the articulation of this pair of chords does not differ from the remaining motifs in these bars, including an analogous ascending sequence at the transition between bars 120 and 121. In this situation, we consider the missing motivic slur to be Chopin's oversight.
