  b. 34-36

Slur in bar 34 without continuation in A (→FEGE1), literal reading

No slurs in bars 35-36 in EE3 & GE2 (→GE3GE4)

No slur in bar 35 in EE4

Suggested contextual interpretation of A

Suggested contextual interpretation of FE (→GE1)

The end of the slur of A (→FEGE1) in bar 34 (the last in the text's line) suggests continuation in the next bar, yet in bar 35 the slur was omitted in A (→FEGE,EE). In subsequent GE,s the slur in bar 34 was shortened. According to us, lack of slurs in bars 35-36 is a result of Chopin's inattention at the time of writing A (he also omitted accents there), hence we suggest to complete the slurs. Due to the ambiguity concerning the range and possible divisions of the slurs, we give two suggestions.
In EE4 a slur was added in bar 36, which was certainly performed by the reviser.
