Slur to f2 in FE (→EE)

Slur to f3 in GE

In FE (→EE), leading the slur until the f2 semiquaver, from which, at the same time, a new slur begins, is probably an inaccuracy – Chopin did not encompass the entire phrase with one slur, as he did two bars later, hence it is difficult to asume that he would have wanted to obliterate a natural division of the phrase, marked by a temporary interruption of the semiquaver movement. Therefore, in the main text we include the shortening of the slur introduced in GE.
