Ties versus slurs - help

Post by chriswarren »

Am currently working on Chopin's Barcarolle - and round the top of page 3 there are some repeated chords in the left hand with a tie or a slur linking the top notes.

How do you tell if it's a tie (i.e. I should hold the top note) or a slur (legato, slight emphasis on first chord)?
