In this kind of texture, in which the parts of both hands move in parallel or at least in the same rhythm (as in bars 37-38), Chopin would often settle for a slur over the top voice; however, he would also use double slurs quite frequently (cf., e.g. the middle fragment of the Larghetto from the Concerto in F minor, Op. 21, in which only some phrases are provided with single slurs, e.g. from bar 57). Taking into account the possibility that we could be dealing here with authentic GE proofreading, in the main text we suggest a slur in brackets. The slur added in EE must be due to revision, often encountered in similar situations.
