3 slurs in A, literal reading |

The slur over b. 8 encompasses in A 5 top-voice quavers. However, according to us, it is possible that Chopin meant a whole-bar slur, as reproduced in FE (→EE). The slurring of FC is definitely incompatible with the notation of A, although the situation between b. 8-9 is ambiguous in the copy – the slur in b. 8 (at the end of the line) suggests that it should be continued, whereas the slur in b. 9 rather does not. However, as b. 9 is not written out with notes, which impedes a reliable evaluation of the placement of the beginning of the slur, we take into account the ending of the slur in b. 8. This is how it was interpreted in GE too.
