Although these bars (as well as the subsequent ones, until b. 58) are not written out with notes in A (→FC), Chopin provided them with a R.H. phrase mark. In turn, in the L.H. part a respective phrase mark starts in A only just in b. 48, which suggests that either b. 44-47 are supposed to be devoid of a phrase mark or that they should contain the same slurring as in b. 28-31. According to us, it is the latter that is correct, which was implemented in FE (→EE).
In FC, which does not contain a L.H. phrase mark in signalized b. 44-58 at all, the text is unequivocal – the slurring from b. 28-42 should be repeated, as it was interpreted in GE.
