Comparing the different editions at IMSLP, I'd say say there's a wide
variety how this piece is typeset.

Here some coding-thoughts:

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff {
      \grace { \once \hideNotes e'8\arpeggio }
      e'4
    }
    \new Staff
    { \clef bass
    <<
      \new Voice {
        \voiceOne
        \once \slurDown
        \grace e8_~\arpeggio <e gis>2.
      }
      \new Voice { \voiceTwo <cis, gis,> }
    >>
    }
  >>

  \layout {
    \context {
      \Score
      \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver"
      connectArpeggios = ##t
    }
  }
}


\score {
  <<
    \new Staff <<
      \key g \major
      \new Voice {
          s1
        \voiceOne
        ais''4\arpeggio
      }
      \new Voice {
          s1
          \set tieWaitForNote = ##t

          \grace {
            \once \override Slur.positions = #'(3 . 5)
          b'16[^( b'~ dis''-\tweak minimum-length #5 _~]
          }
          \voiceFour
          \dotsUp
          <b' dis''>2.\arpeggio)
      }
      \new Voice {
          s1
        \voiceTwo ais'4
      }
  >>
    \new Staff {
      \key g \major
      \clef bass
      s1
      <fis dis'>2.\arpeggio
    }
  >>

  \layout {
