In FE, bar 46 is the first in a new line of text, and the phrase mark begins there simultaneously with the continuation of the tie to f2. This suggests that this slur is also a continuation of a slur from the previous bar, but at the end of bar 45 there is only the beginning of the tie. Both in GE and EEW the slur begins from the first quaver in bar 46, but it is possible that Chopin wanted to lead the slur from the moment the note is struck, i.e. from the f2 quaver in bar 45. We consider this interpretation to be text of FE and we accept it in the main text.
