The A slurs between these bars are unclear – the slur in bar 72, last in a line, led over the stave, suggests that it should be continued, yet instead of its continuation, in bar 73 there is only a short slur under the f1-e1 quavers. Both GE and FE (or perhaps already [FC]) considered the slur in bar 73 to be an ending to the slur in bar 72. Such an interpretation is supported by the slurs in analogous bars 159-160 and 239-240, hence it can be considered an equal variant. However, the comparison with the ending of the previous phrase (bars 70-71) suggests, according to us, another possibility – in A Chopin forgot to write the ending of the top slur, while the bottom one was supposed to emphasise the rhythmic gesture repeated a few times in subsequent bars. We suggest this version in the main text, which can be regarded as a contextual interpretation of A notation. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , FE revisions , Uncertain slur continuation |

In A the slur in bar 76, last in a line, suggests that it should be continued, which is not confirmed by the slur at the beginning of bar 77. The comparison with analogous situations in bars 163-164 and 243-244, which are not at the beginning or end of a line in A, does not make it easier to guess Chopin's intention, since in bars 163-164 there is a continuous slur, whereas in bars 243-244 the slur is divided. In this situation, to the main text we adopt the FE solution, which could be considered compromise – the slurs meeting on the 1st quaver in bar 77. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources |

In the main text we suggest slurs modelled on analogous bar 163 – see bars 68-75. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

The slurs were probably added to A after [FC], on which FE was based, had been finished. In EE2 they were added after comparing it with GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

In the main text we provide the slurs of A, where the slur is divided in a pianistically natural place, that is over a rest. We consider the division of the slur between bars 77 and 78 in FE (→EE) to be an inaccuracy related to the transition to a new line; therefore, we suggest a continuous slur in this place as an alternative solution. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |
