  b. 43

Slur from 2nd quaver in A (literal reading→GE)

Slur from 1st quaver in FE (→EE)

Slur from 3rd quaver in A, contextual interpretation

The beginning of the A slur falls more or less on the middle of the 1st beat of the bar, yet it is uncertain with which note it is supposed to be combined. Counting horizontally, it is closer to the 2nd note, and this is how it was interpreted in GE. According to us, however, one should take into account the direct distance.

In FE (→EE) the slur starts from the beginning of the bar, as was written by Chopin in analogous bar 54. Both versions can be considered equal, yet in the main text we reproduce the notation of the principal source, that is A.
