Slurs in A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE) and GE3

Slur in GE2

In the main text we give the slurring written by Chopin in A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE). The continuous slur in GE2 results from the comparison with the authentic slurring in analogous bars 219-220 and 670-671. In the editors' such a uniformity is not justified in this context.
