In A (→GE→FE), the slur at the end of bar 84 does not match the slur in bar 85 that opens a new system. The slur in bar 85 is drawn as a new one, not a continuation. This inaccurate notation may be interpreted in two ways:
- the way Chopin notated the slurs in bars 76-77; that version can be found in EE3;
- the way in which the slur in bars 80-81 are notated; that version appears in our main text as the simplest one.
In EE1 (→EE2) the slurring discrepancy was resolved by omitting the slur at the end of bar 84.
