In the main text we give the slur of PE, undoubtedly drawn from [A]. However, one can have doubts concerning the correct reading of the autograph's notation in PE. The slurs over the dots tend to embrace only the notes marked in this way, usually of the same pitch (cf. bars 8-10, 16, 59). Chopin's slurs in similar contexts are generally lacking precision, which often impedes their interpretation, cf., e.g., the Mazurka in G minor, Op. 24 No. 1, bar 21. Therefore, it is possible that in this case the slur was supposed to embrace only five quavers (starting from the second one) in Chopin's intentions.
