Slur from 1st quaver in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

No slur in GE3

Slur from 2nd quaver suggested by the editors

The slur of FE (→EE,GE1GE2) must be inaccurate, perhaps as a result of an erroneous interpretation of [A] – Chopin, while writing a slur over the accents of the top voice, obvious to him, could have not noticed that the 1st quaver of the bar, placed much lower, turned up under the slur. In GE3, the slur was omitted, perhaps taking into account its inadequacy to the natural phrasing resulting from the texture.
