  b. 14-15

Slur to b. 15 in A, literal reading (→FEGE,EE)

Slur to end of b. 14 in A, contextual interpretation

In A, the R.H. slur in the 2nd half of b. 14, when interpreted literally, ends at the beginning of b. 15, and this is how it was reproduced in FE (→GE,EE). According to us, however, it is merely an inaccuracy of Chopin's notation, since the composer would write the majority of the slurs in this Ballade with a flourish.
