b. 7
Leaving the L.H. quaver motif without a slur seems to be Chopin's inadvertence, since the motif's structure and nature clearly refer to the Sonata's opening motif. Admittedly, similar figures are quite often provided with inconsistent slurs in the Sonata, yet in this case it is more likely that we are dealing with the composer's oversight, as evidenced by the slur in the analogous bar in the recapitulation (bar 185). Taking into account the above, in the main text we add a slur modelled after that bar.
