The endings of the slurs at the beginning of these bars slightly differ from the natural notation of the remaining analogous places:
- In A the slur ending in bar 49 is written with a flourish; consequently, its ending reaches quite beyond the initial crotchet. The shape of the slur does not indicate an intentional action, and it did not confuse the engraver of GE. It is difficult to certainly say how Fontana recreated it in [FC] – see below. In our transcripts we do not recreate this patent inaccuracy.
- In FE such an extension to the slur is visible a bar earlier, in bar 48, perhaps due to the confusion of bars, as long as [FC] recreated Chopin's notation in bar 49.
- In EE the described extension to the slur is to be observed in both these places, which is either a revision or a mistake.
Both in FE and EE the extended slurs occur in the places in which the next slur begins from the 4th quaver in the bar in these editions, hence we consider them together with the variants concerning the placement of the beginnings of the slurs – see bars 45-59.
