When interpreted literally, the slur of A reaches the 1st chord in b. 3; however, neither FC (→GE) nor FE (→EE) interpreted it so. A whole-bar slur is also in AB and probably ACh (see the characterization of that autograph). A similar ambiguity concerning the range of that slur is to be found in CGS too. In the main text we give a slur reaching the last crotchet in b. 2, taking into account numerous examples of similar situations in which the inaccuracy of slurs written by Chopin is unquestionable – cf., e.g. the Prelude No. 21 in B, b. 13 and 31 or 38.
