The contact between the abridged notation of b. 58-72 and the full notation of b. 73 and subsequent contributes to the ambiguity of A1, since Chopin did not coordinate the endings of the slurs in b. 16 with the notation of b. 73. The slurs in b. 16 (corresponding to b. 72) clearly lead to the next bar; however, in b. 73 there is no proof that Chopin would have really liked to continue them or even to end them: in the R.H. part a new slur starts, while the L.H. part is devoid of slurring in the entire section from b. 73 to b. 88. According to us, it means that Chopin wanted the slurs to end in b. 72, like in GE, based on [A2], whereas the version of FE (→EE) is incorrect.
