The fact that the starting point of the slurs is consistently different suggests that Chopin wrote them independently first in A after [FC] had been finished and then in [FC] or FE1. In both places, in A in bars 285-286 and in FE in bars 283-284, the slurs do not reach the next bar. According to us, these are inaccuracies of notation, while in A it is so obvious that we provide a literal interpretation of this slur only in the graphic transcription. The missing slurs in GE1 in bars 283-284 and in EE1 in bars 285-286 are definitely of an accidental nature. The former was added by GE2, starting from the minim. The slur that was overlooked in EE1 was added by EE2 on the basis of GE1. In the main text we provide a contextual interpretation of the A slurs, consistent with the slurs in analogous bars 116-119. We consider the slurs based on the FE version, with the first slur having been extended, to be an acceptable variant.
