4 different slurs in AsI

4 longer & 3 shorter slurs in A, literal reading

7 longer slurs in A, contextual interpretation

6 shorter slurs in GE1 (→GE2)

7 shorter slurs in FE, EE 7 GE3

The range of the small slurs under the groups of grace notes differs in A; however, they must be accidental inaccuracies, getting bigger as similar marks repeat themselves. The first 4 slurs prove that Chopin almost certainly meant slurs reaching the respective main notes, and this is the interpretation we adopt to the main text. In the editions, the slurs encompassed only the grace notes; moreover, GE1 (→GE2) overlooked the second slur in b. 26 (which was added in the remaining editions).
