Lack of slurs in bars 61-62 is undoubtedly Chopin's oversight in A, related to the transition to a new page – the slurs begin from a new page and the first of them (in bar 63) suggests continuation from the previous bar. In bars 62-63 FE (→GE,EE3) have a slur resulting from the notation of A. In the main text we consider the slur in bars 62-63 and suggest to add the slur in bar 61, in accordance with the slurring of analogous bars. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions |

Less precise notation of the last appearance of the main theme of the Etude is revealed by, e.g., lack of some of the slurs in the part of the L.H. We suggest to complete them after bars 15-22, which are most accurately written in this respect. Some of the suggested additions were already introduced – probably on the basis of comparison with analogous places – in EE (in bar 64) and GE2 (→GE3→GE4) – in bar 66. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

The lack of slurs in FE (→GE,EE3) is certainly an engraver's oversight. Slurs in A, although imprecise, rise no doubts as to their intentional compass. This is further confirmed by Chopin's correction of a sketchy slur in bar 69 in A, precising its scope. Slurs in EE4, generally consistent with A, are nevertheless an undoubted editorial revision. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE |

Same as in the case of accents, the difference between the slur of A and the one of FE (→GE,EE) is too big to be attributed only to the engraver's negligence. The mark visible in the editions probably appeared as a result of Chopin's proofreading, yet its range, unrelated to the natural voice-leading, suggests that the composer's annotation could have been misinterpreted. Therefore, in the main text we give the undoubtedly authentic notation of A, considering the literal reading and interpretation of the slur of FE as almost equal alternative possibilities. In addition, we give another possible reading of the slur in FE, inspired by the accent appearing in that edition, and combined with the probably overlooked slur and accent of A. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |
