The slur of A

GE (→FE→EE)

In  A, the slur of the lower voice is drawn precisely to reach f2 ​in bar 66. Despite that fact, in GE (→FE→EE)  the slur ends on the last semiquaver of bar 65. It is very unlikely that the correction was actually made by Chopin, as there are no traces of introducing any changes in GE.
