b. 248

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

..

In A one can see traces of removal (erasure) of the slurs combining each of the grace notes with the respective main notes. Perhaps Chopin did not want to suggest an unisono performance of this bar (with tenth leaps in both hands), as he allowed for the possibility of playing the e-e1 octave with the R.H., while the C-c one with the L.H.

b. 248

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

Slur to next bar in A

Slur to c2 in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

The arched line visible in A, going through to the next bar, seems to continue the bottom arm of the  hairpin. However, according to us, it is an illusion – it was probably added as an extension to the slur, since extending one arm of the  would make no sense, not to mention its bent shape, leading to the crotchet in bar 249. Anyway, it could have confused the engraver of GE, who led the  mark slightly further than its top arm (which is unquestionable); as far as the slur is concerned, the engraver ended it on the last quaver in the bar.
