According to us, the slur of A1 in b. 27-28, coinciding with the next one on the minim in b. 28, is one of a few inaccuracies of notation of slurs in the sources concerning this Mazurka. The suggested interpretation is based on the assumption that the slurs of A1 generally describe the same performance manner as the slur and the staccato dot used in [A2] (→GE1). In other words, Chopin was certain of the performance concept of that phrase, he was just looking for the best way to write it down.
EE most probably convey the version of FE1 prior to the final stage of Chopin's proofreading, while the slur of GE is affected by a similar inaccuracy as the notation of A1.
