It is difficult to evaluate the authenticity of the version of GE (→FE1,EE), featuring only one R.H. slur in this bar. The longer slur of A, not included in the editions, does not seem to be a part of an irregular group marking, since it goes beyond it, to the c3-c4 octave. Therefore, it should be assumed that it concerns phrasing/articulation; when omitted, it impacts the articulation of the last five demisemiquavers, particularly if we take into account the change of dots to wedges, also performed in GE. On the other hand, upon seeing GE, Chopin could have considered one slur to be enough and the markings as a whole to be acceptable. In this situation, we regard both sets of markings (dots under a slur or wedges) as more or less equal, keeping in the main text the version of the principal source, i.e. A.
