b. 38
In the main text we give the slurring of A, since nothing indicates a later Chopin intervention in any of the editions. In GE1 the first two slurs of A were reproduced inaccurately to such an extent that their range was actually changed. This is how, already without ambiguities, they were printed in FE (→EE). The extension of the third slur is most probably a mistake of the engraver of FE (→EE) while the version of GE2, in which the middle slur was overlooked, is certainly arbitrary.
