Tied a in FE (→GE,EE)

Possible motivic slur

As in bar 5, in view of the absence of [A], it is difficult to expressly state whether it is a tie or a slur, combining both a notes, that complies with Chopin's intention. A comparison with similar motifs in bars 84, 236 and 240, in which the common note of the dyads is repeated, indicates that it could be a slur.
