Slurs from 2nd quaver in A, EE & GE2

Slurs from 1st quaver in GE1

Different slurs in FE

The slurs in A begin from the 2nd quaver of half-bar figures. The first, discussed separately, could be considered to be unclear, yet other slurs in similar figures do not leave any doubt about Chopin's intention. In spite of this, in GE1 each of the slurs embraces a half of the bar. Shortening the 1st slur in FE is probably only an inaccuracy; however, it could have encouraged the engraver of EE to shorten the 2nd slur too. The slurs compatible with A were introduced also in GE2.
