No slur in A

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)

Slur suggested by the editors

The slur encompassing the 1st half of the bar was added – most probably by Chopin – in the stage of proofreading FE (→GE,EE). We consider it simplified due to graphical reasons (perhaps by the engraver); in the main text, we suggest a slur encompassing the entire accompanying figure, modelled on the previous bars.
