Slur to minim in GE & FE (→EE)

Slur to end of bar suggested by the editors

The slur visible in the sources may be authentic; however, it is likely (which is evidenced by a comparison with the notation of FE (→EE) in b. 44 and 277) that it was adjusted to the notes placed on the top stave by the engravers (i.e. shortened). Consequently, in the main text we suggest the type of slur featured in the aforementioned bars, i.e. a slur/tenuto, typical of Chopin.
