Slur up to 2nd beat in GC

Slur up to 3rd beat in GC (another interpretation→GE), FE & EE

The inaccurately vertically written notes result in GC not being entirely clear where the slur over the part of the R.H. is supposed to reach – the 2nd or the 3rd beat of the bar. In the main text we adopt the first possibility, in which the relation to the progression of the bottom voice is more significant. In the editions it was interpreted differently, which is also justified, particularly if we take into account the tenuto slur, added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE3 in bar 146.
