In the sources bars 148-152 have varying slurs.

Since the manuscript A was partly burnt it is not possible to determine Chopin's slurring of the first two bars of the phrase. Due to the notation inaccuracies in FC3 and lack of the remaining copies we cannot tell for sure what the composer intended here. It seems almost certain however that the slur did not begin in the middle of bar 149, and given the characteristics of Tarantella's themes and inaccuracies of the slurs it may be assumed that most certainly the slur in b. 149 began on the quaver and not the beginning of the bar. Compare annotation in b. 149.

Moreover, sources FE(→IE) differ from the all the rest as here the slur extends as far as the chord on the first beat in b. 152.
