Slur in A, literal reading

Slur in A, contextual interpretation

Slur in GE1 (→FE)

Slurs in both hands in EE & GE2

Slurs in both hands, suggested by the editors

The slur written in A embraces only this bar, yet the slur in the next bar (on a new page of the manuscript) clearly indicates continuation. In the main text we assume that it is the second slur that determines Chopin's intention in this place. The slur of GE1 (→FE) is clearly erroneous, which was revised in EE and GE2. In that editions, a slur in the part of the L.H. was also added, which can be considered to be justified with regard to the consistent slurring of the parts of both hands in the remaining sections of this fragment (bars 44-45).

If in bar 45 the version with the harmonic accompaniment was chosen, one of the first three source versions is to be selected here.
