  b. 29

No slur in A & GE3 (→GE4), literal reading of FE (→GE1→GE2)

Slur in EE & contextual interpretation of FE (→GE1→GE2)

The slur at the end of bar 28, added – at the end of the page – by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), is unfinished in bar 29. According to us, the inaccuracy concerns this bar and this is how we interpret the notation of FE (→GE1→GE2). In EE bars 28-29 are not separated and the slur reaches the D-A fifth.
