Longer slur in FE (→GE1,EEW)

Shorter slur in GE2 (→GE3)

The shorter slur in GE2 (→GE3) could have resulted from a misinterpretation of the GE1 slur – it could have been regarded as an inaccurate slur under the quaver group. Not only does the slur indicate legato articulation, but it also separates the entire 5-note tenor voice motif, whose range is unobvious in the simplified Chopinesque notation.
