Slur from grace note f2 in FC (→GE)

Slur from crotchet f2 in FE (→EE)

It is difficult to say how the difference in the slur starting point occurred. The FC slur was copied, it was not corrected. Therefore, it is likely that Chopin extended the slur in the proofreading of or in the basis for FE. We give preference to this version; however, we consider both to be equal.

By including the accent on the 3rd crotchet in bar 32, we get two source versions – an accent and a slur from the next note (FC) or a slur running from the 3rd crotchet in bar 32, not provided with an accent (FE). These versions may indicate very similar performances, but one can find in them various interpretation details.
