Longer slur in A

Shorter slur in GE (→FE,EE)

Both source slurs make musical sense, hence it is difficult to evaluate whether the difference is an inaccuracy, a correction or a revision. According to us, as the difference would have a minimal impact on the performance, it is hard to assume that Chopin would have wanted to correct this very detail. Due to the above, in the main text we keep the notation of A.
