Slur from a in A, FE (→EE) & GE2

Slur from d1 in GE1

A later beginning of the slur in GE1 is an evident inaccuracy (the engraver made his work easier by avoiding an atypical slur). A slur compliant with the course of music was introduced both in FE (→EE) and GE2. The correction in FE could have been ordered by Chopin, but it remains uncertain.
