  b. 17-19

Slurs in A, probable reading

Slur in A, possible interpretation

Slurs in #CF

Slurs in FE

Slur in EE

Slurs in GE

The initially written here three slurs, one in each bar, were then extended by Chopin in both preserved manuscripts, who connected the slurs between bars 18-19 in A, whereas in FC – between bars 17-18. In A, the situation is additionally complicated by the new line of text beginning in bar 18, as a result of which – as it is often to be encountered in Chopin autographs – it is unknown whether the slur in this bar is supposed to continue the one from bar 17 or not. The two possible interpretations resulting from this situation are reflected in the versions of FE and EE, which, however, feature the most probably inaccurately written ending of the slur in bar 19. In turn, GE inaccurately reproduced the ending of the slur in bar 18. In the main text we give the slurs of FC, corrected by Chopin's hand and compatible with the phrasing corresponding to the formal structure.
