It is unclear whether Chopin wanted the slur to begin from the c
1 quaver or the b crotchet. The fact that the slur in FE (→EE) starts earlier than in AF is most probably an inaccuracy, which suggests that the slur of GE, of the same range, can also be inaccurate. However, the shape of the slur of GE1 shows that its initial fragment was being corrected in print, perhaps at Chopin's request, hence this is the version we give in the main text.
AI is devoid of slurs in these and next bars (until b. 152), which together fill the last line of the 2nd page of AI. Therefore, it is Chopin's inadvertence – on the next page the R.H. slurring is continued in this autograph.
