No slurs in the left hand in A (→GE→FE)

The slurs arbitrarily added in EE

In EE, slurs were added in the left hand in those bars. This is definitely the editor's revision that was supposed to emphasize that slurring was binding throughout the entire Nocturne. EE also introduced similar revisions in bars 16 & 31.
