The slurring of A is inaccurate at the transition between the pages: the slur at the end of the page (bar 32) suggests a continuation, yet there is not any ending on a new page (bar 33). To make matters worse, the next slur, beginning from the syncopated b
1 note, is written with great flourish, which probably convinced the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE) that the division of the slur appears here on the bar line. Nevertheless, there is no excuse for distortions of phrasing in bars 31-32 and 33-34. As a whole, the fragment is one of the most striking examples of misunderstanding and disregard of the Chopin slurring by the engraver of GE1. It is worth adding that the last slur was led to the end of the phrase in bar 35 only in the proofreading: initially, bars 31-34 contained four one-bar slurs.
