Slur in A

2 slurs in GE (→FEEE)

The slur of A was indeed written with two moves, yet interpreting it as two slurs is, according to us, an unnecessary complication, incompatible with Chopin's intention. It may be that GE1 initially printed only one of the slurs, so that adding a second was a correction of a patent mistake – cf. bars 190-192.
