Slurs in A, contextual interpretation

Slurs in GE

Slurs in FE (→EE)

In A the slur under the motif in the R.H. ends on a, whereas the corresponding slur in the L.H. – on B. A comparison with the slurs in the next bar allows to consider the first of them to be inaccurate. The slurs in GE can be a result of Chopin's proofreading, since leading the slurs to the end of the motifs is more natural here – cf. the authentic slurs e.g. in bars 4-6. In turn, an earlier beginning of the slurs in FE (→EE), being contrary to the structure of the motifs, cannot come from Chopin and is probably a result of an erroneous interpretation of the slurs of GE.
