Slur from f1 in A1

Slur from e1 in FE (→EE) & GE

According to us, there is no reason to interpret the beginning of the slur of A1 differently than in an analogous phrase four bars earlier. In spite of that, in FE (→EE) the beginning of the slur was placed already over the e1 minim. It implies that the same slur in GE may also be inaccurate, hence we consider both possibilities equal. However, in the main text we preserve the text of the principal source, since in [A2] Chopin, having changed the articulation of the initial motif of this phrase, could have led the next slur slightly differently too.
