Slur from first beat in FE (→EE)

Slur from 2nd beat in GE

The slur in FE (→EE) is most probably inaccurate, hence in the main text, we give the version of GE, which, according to us, guesses correctly Chopin's possible notation. Too spacious slurs, written with a flourish, are a frequent phenomenon in the Chopinesque autographs.
