Slurs from 2nd quaver in A & GE2

Slurs from 1st quaver in GE1 (→FE)

Different slurs in EE

In A the vast majority of the beginnings of the slurs in the L.H., both in the figures embracing the whole bar and in the half-bar ones, does not include the bass note, usually provided with a staccato dot. Despite the fact that Chopin would not always put them precisely (e.g., a slur in bar 8), their systematical reproduction in GE1 (→FEEE) as whole- or half-bar rather does not correspond to his intention (cf. the characterization of GE1), which was noticed in GE2.
