Longer slur in AI & GE2 (→GE3)

Shorter slur in FE (→GE1,EE)

The revision of GE2 (→GE3) was probably an attempt at standardising the inconsistent notation of FE, in which throughout the entire Mazurka slurs generally reach the 1st beat of even bars (as in bars 1-2). The AI slurring, which is more consistent in this respect, confirms that some deviations from the most frequent slurs are accidental inaccuracies, as is the case, e.g. with the discussed bars. Due to the above, in the main text we provide here a longer slur.
