Slur from 3rd quaver in A (literal reading→FEEE)

Slur from 2nd quaver in A, possible interpretation

No slur in FC (→GE)

The slur of A was written carelessly – its right-hand end reaches over the rest, while the curvature is barely noticeable. Therefore, one can ponder whether its starting point, falling on the 3rd quaver in the bar, corresponds to Chopin's intention, particularly since in a similar context, in b. 27, the slur of A starts clearly on the 2nd quaver. Taking into account the above, we suggest a slur running from the 2nd quaver as an acceptable variant.
The missing slur in FC (→GE) is one of quite numerous oversights of the copyist.
