The corrections and erasures visible in A reveal that Chopin initially wrote a slur only over the semiquaver sextuplet. Similar changes of conventional slurs related to the notation of irregular groups into motivic slurs are also to be found in other pieces by Chopin, e.g. in the Etude in C minor, Op. 10 No. 12, bars 52-62.

In the main text we give an extended slur – probably by Chopin together with adding the d2 note at the beginning of the bar – in the proofreading of FE (→EE). In turn, we omit the triplet slur added in GE (→FE→EE) – cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 16.
