Slurs

b. 246

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

No markings in A

Wedges & slurs in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

In the main text we do not include the wedges and slurs added by GE (→FE,EE,IE) to the L.H. part after the markings present in these editions in the R.H. part – see the note on slurs in bars 245-247. It is difficult to say why the markings were added only just in this bar.

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

..

In A one can see traces of removal (erasure) of the slurs combining each of the grace notes with the respective main notes. Perhaps Chopin did not want to suggest an unisono performance of this bar (with tenth leaps in both hands), as he allowed for the possibility of playing the e-e1 octave with the R.H., while the C-c one with the L.H.
