Slurs

b. 179-180

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

4 slurs in A

No slurs in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

The absence of all slurs between the chords in GE (→FE,EE,IE) is most probably due to inattention of the engraver of GE1.

b. 183-184

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

Slurs to b. 184 in A

Various-length slurs in GE (→FE,IE) & EE2

No slurs in EE1

..

The shorter L.H. slur is an inaccuracy, probably forced by the lack of space to lead a longer slur. The undoubtedly accidental omission of both slurs in EE1 was corrected in EE2.

b. 185

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

Whole-bar slur in A (→GE)

Slur over quavers in FE, EE & IE

..

In the main text we keep the A (→GE) slur, being a part of the irregular group marking. In the remaining editions it was transformed into an articulation slur, which can be considered an acceptable variant, as in later pieces Chopin would often change the initially written "rhythmic" slurs into articulation ones – cf., e.g. the Etude in C minor, Op. 10 No. 12, bars 52-62.
The same in bar 368.

b. 186

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

Slur in A

No slur in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

The missing slur is most probably due to an oversight by the engraver of GE.

b. 188-189

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

No tie (slur?) in sources

Tie (slur?) suggested by the editors

..

The analogous L.H. sequences in bars 187-188 and 188-189 are most probably supposed to be performed identically. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest adding a slur (or a tie?) to c1, as marked by Chopin in bars 5-6.
