Slur over sextuplet in A

Longer slur in FE (→GE,EE)

The slur of A clearly reaches the last note of the sextuplet only. In spite of that, the slur of FE (→GE,EE) is longer, which is difficult to be considered an inaccuracy or an arbitrary decision, since a similar difference is to be found in b. 257-258 (cf. a similar situation in b. 172-174 and the Chopinesque corrections to A in b. 8-19). Therefore, we consider the longer slurs to have been proofread by Chopin and give them in the main text.
