Beginning of slur in A, contextual interpretation

Beginning of slur in GE (→FEEE

The beginning of the slur of A is undoubtedly inaccurate; however, it is unclear from which note it was supposed to start, according to Chopin – from the 2nd fsemiquaver, from the sustained esemiquaver or maybe even from the ecrotchet, as it was interpreted in GE (→FEEE). We adopt the second of the possibilities as the text of A due to a slightly similar situation in the previous bar. Being uncertain how A is to be interpreted, in the main text we give the unambiguous notation of the editions (equivalent to the one we adopted to A).
