b. 8-9

composition: Op. 28 No. 22, Prelude in G minor

Slur from semiquaver in A (→FE,FC→GE)

Slur from crotchet in EE
..

The inaccurate, later starting point of the slur in EE is most probably a mistake of the engraver.

b. 9-10

composition: Op. 28 No. 22, Prelude in G minor

Slur to end of bar 9 in A (literal reading→FE→EE)

Slur to bar 10 in A (possible contextual interpretation→FC→GE)
..

The slur of A does not reach b. 10; however, it cannot be ruled out that this is what Chopin's idea looked like – cf. the next two slurs in this phrase. Fontana implemented that possibility in FC (→GE); it even seems that he was prolonging that slur on purpose.
