  b. 32-33

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.
