As far as the L.H. slurs in bars 95-96 and 99-100 are concerned, the two groups of sources show similar differences to those observed in bars 93-94. In this case, it is also difficult to conclusively determine the origin thereof; however, it seems likely that Chopin was adding slurs to A and to [FC] or FE1 twice, at a different time. In the main text we give the slurs of the principal source, that is A. They are very characteristic due to their motivic, and not pianistic nature – respective slurs encompass six-quaver groups that do not correspond to subsequent L.H. positions, but are composed of pairs of different chords. It is only the second time (bars 262-263 and 266-267) that the slurs are compliant with the hand position and combine groups generally based on one chord.
