Same as in bars 177-189, in the main text we give indications – slurs and dots – introduced probably by Chopin in the proofreading of GE (→FE→EE). In A, in this fragment, written already very hastily, slurs are only in bar 353 (over the sixths) and 357 (a whole-bar slur). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |

Both the change introduced in GE1 and the one in FE definitely come from Chopin who was looking for the smartest connection of this bar with the following one, as far as the piano skills and harmony are concerned. At the same time, he most probably wanted to emphasise the chromatic movement of the bass, hence the arbitrary version of EE2 certainly does not correspond to his intention. The last crotchet in bar 368 underwent the same transformation, which excludes a possibility of a mistake in both versions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Accompaniment changes , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE |

The first three out of the given versions are certainly authentic and they present an interesting example of Chopin's works on the detail, performed in stages. In EE2, due to the skepticism concerning the correctness of the version of FE and GE1, it was replaced with another one, structured analogously to the majority of the similar bars. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , Accompaniment changes , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE |

In A, the quavers in bar 376, the last on this page, are encompassed with a slur, which clearly points to continuation, yet in bar 377 there is no ending of this slur. Chopin did not write any slurs in the L.H. until the end of this Solo, hence it seems that he renounced the slurring in the L.H. in this fragment, considering the slurs in the R.H. to be enough. Due to this reason, in the main text we omit the described fragment of the slur. It may be possible that the absence of continuation of the slurring is only a result of haste, particularly since in analogous bars 32-33 the slurs in A are written in the parts of both hands. Therefore, the slur of GE1, completed after the R.H., and the slurs of EE and GE2 can be considered to be compliant with Chopin's intention. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |
