b. 65-67

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

Slur in A, literal reading

Slur in A, partly interpreted (→FE→GE,EE)

Slur in A, interpretation suggested by the editors
..

According to us, the slur of A is inaccurately written on both sides (too short). In FE (→GE,EE) the beginning of the slur was correctly interpreted, whereby the end was left according to the classic rule of not exceeding the bar line.

b. 73-74

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

No slurs in A (→FE→EE2,GE1→GE1a)

Three slurs in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5)

Four slurs in EE3 (→EE4)
 
..

In these bars A does not have any performance indications in the part of the L.H., which in this context should be understood as a suggestion that the ones given in the analogous situation four bars before should still be valid. Due to the fact that Chopin added here accents while proofreading FE, we suggest to add the slurs too. The idea was already performed in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) and – to a greater extent – in EE3 (→EE4).
