  b. 32-33

Although  the slur in A is missing its ending in bar 33 (in a new line of text), Chopin must have intended that slur to reach f1 in that bar, which is evident from:

  • the slur shape in bar 32,
  • omission of a wedge at the beginning of bar 33, which confirms Chopin's weakened attention when writing that fragment,
  • slur extension in analogous bars 28-29,
  • slurs of AI in all the analogous bar.

This is how the slur was interpreted in GE (→FEEE).
