Slurs

b. 31-32

composition: Op. 28 No. 8, Prelude in F♯ minor

Continuous slur in A (→FC→GE)

Separate slurs in FE (→EE)
..

The division of the slur between the bars must be a mistake of the engraver, probably misled by the shortness of the bars in A, written in an abridged manner.

category imprint: Differences between sources

issues: Errors in FE

b. 32-33

composition: Op. 28 No. 8, Prelude in F♯ minor

Separate slurs in A (contextual interpretation→FC→GE)

Continuous slur in A (literal reading→FE→EE)
..

Looking at the notation of A, one can have doubts whether in b. 33 Chopin wanted to continue the preceding slur or start a new one. The change of texture and the  mark, emphasizing the minim chord, are arguments for starting a new slur.
