In A1 both the ending of the L.H. slur in b. 90 and the starting point of the slur in b. 91 are probably inaccurate, which is indicated by a comparison with GE and analogous b. 94 and 99 in the very A1. The engraver of FE, misled by the slur in b. 90, combined both slurs in one, which does not result from the notation of A1 and certainly does not correspond to Chopin's intention. This erroneous version was repeated in EE.

Slurs from 1. note of bar in A1 (→FE→EE)

Slurs from 2nd note in GE
..

The slurs of A1 in b. 95 and 97 begin closer to the 1st note of the bar than to the 2nd one, hence we reproduce them in accordance with the unequivocal notation in analogous b. 91. This is how they were interpreted in FE (→EE). In the main text we give the probably later slurs of [A2] (→GE).
