The sequence of pairs of chords present in these bars is a literal transposition of the sequence from bars 229-230. However, unlike that sequence, the discussed bars are devoid of slurs. According to us, it does not mean that they should be performed differently, as the slurs in bars 229-230 are to be considered a model to be followed also in these bars. To avoid any doubts, in the main text we add respective slurs, compliant with the GE revision (→FE,EE,IE).
In addition, Chopin omitted the slur over the topmost pair of thirds in bar 231. In the main text we also add this slur, as the reason for it having been omitted was almost certainly lack of space under the octave sign – cf. the note on bars 232-236. This slur was already added by GE (→FE,EE,IE).
