A comparison of the slurs in analogous bars 175-176 and 530-531 leads to the conclusion that they are most probably inaccurate in both places. Chopin was not utterly careful when it comes to such short slurs over the motifs whose range is clearly defined in another way, in this case by the arrangement of beams, accents and staccato marks. Due to this reason, in the main text we unify all these slurs (we also add the overlooked second slur in bar 176), considering the endings of the slurs in the exposition and the beginnings in the recapitulation to be reliable.
