The meaning of the slur/tie led in A under the top voice notes is unclear. In GE (→FE,EE,IE) it was reproduced as a tie to the last a1 crotchet in bar 9; however, according to us, it is more likely that Chopin meant a slur, writing it with the chromatic step in the top voice in mind. It is indicated by the slur's position – a tie concerning a
1 could have been written at the pitch of this note or slightly below. Therefore, in the main text we provide a slur concerning the top voice, placing it over the notes for the sake of clarity.
