We think that the slur added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE) should be interpreted as the articulation model for the next pairs of quavers. Perhaps Chopin thought that the long accents alone are enough to suggest a correct performance. In order to avoid doubts, in the main text we suggest to complete the slurs. The additions, to a slightly greater extent, were also performed in EE3 (→EE4); according to us, the version can be considered as an alternative proposal of the authentic notation's development.
