Slur in bar 137 in AF

Slur in FE (→EE)

Slur to bar 137 in GE

The slur of AF is almost certainly Chopin's mistake, which is indicated by a comparison with all analogous figures – b. 10-11, 12-13, 102-103, 104-105 and 134-135. The version of FE (→EE) is most probably a result of an inaccurate interpretation of the slur of AF, written with a flourish (like in b. 134-135).
