The slurs of A between b. 20 and 21 may be questionable – when interpreted literally, the latter begins before the bar line, which could be interpreted as two slurs coinciding on the f2 quaver. However, according to us, it is an inaccuracy that is more likely – cf., e.g. . In FC (→GE) Fontana assumed – wrongly, according to us – that Chopin wanted to combine both slurs here. In FE the slurs are ambiguous; however, it is not related to the notation of A, since in that edition continuation is suggested by the ending of the first slur (in b. 20, at the end of the line), which is not confirmed by the new slur in b. 21.
