The additional slur in FE (→EE) is part of an irregular group marking. Chopin would generally insert such slurs along with a digit determining the number of notes in such a group (e.g. in a similar context in bar 98 in A); however, he would often omit them or included in longer phrase marks. In this case the slur must have been added to [FC] or FE1, yet it seems highly unlikely that it could have been done by Chopin. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Triplet slurs |

The FE slurs may be authentic, although the random nature of this variant rules out a serious change of concept. Chopin could have added these two four-quaver slurs in a place in which the copyist or the engraver overlooked the actual shorter slurs. They indicate rather musical articulation (motifs) than a pianistic gesture, as the L.H. slurs written in A in bars 95-96 and 99-100. category imprint: Differences between sources |

As in analogous bars 109-116, the slurs over the octave sequences are certainly supposed to reach the final crotchets. It was generally precisely marked in the sources except a minor inaccuracy due to the transition to a new line – in A and FE there is no ending of the slur from bar 276 in bar 277. It was corrected both in GE and EE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Uncertain slur continuation , Inaccuracies in A |

The range of the FE slur deviates from the slurs in all three previous analogous places (bars 95-96, 99-100 and 262-263), which suggests a mistake by the copyist or by the engraver. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The longer FE slur (→EE) could be the initial version, which seems to be evidenced by a deletion that can be seen in A in the place where the slur's ending at the beginning of bar 276 should be expected. It is not entirely certain whether it was a slur that was deleted, while the slur at the end of bar 275 in A does not suggest that it should be continued. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A |
