The versions of the editions are arbitrary attempts at interpreting the seemingly illogical slurring of A (→FC). Indeed, one could assume that the notation of A is inaccurate due to the crossings-out in b. 12, which forced Chopin to rewrite the R.H. part on the stave above. According to us, it could have provoked an unintentional shortening of the phrase mark, which would justify the version of GE. However, in the main text we keep the notation of A, which could have equally been intended by Chopin – the f1-b1 crotchet guarantees legato at the end of the bar, while the last quaver (c
2) belonging to the preceding phrase is not as obvious as it may seem.
