In A the slur abruptly ends before the last note of bar 19, which, in our opinion, must be considered as the notation's inaccuracy. In the main text we suggest an interpretation and completion of slurring in accordance with the phrases' structure. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

The slur in A in the 2nd half of bar 24 undoubtedly reaches the 1st note in bar 25. Also the relevant slur in bar 25 (the last one in the text's line) suggests a continuation in the following bar, in which, however, it does not end. In the editions the first of the slurs was omitted, which is a patent error, while the second embraced only five last semiquavers in bar 25, which is probably the laziest way of interpretation. Due to the changes of slurs and articulation at the beginning of these bars, we suggest two unified slurrings to choose from: longer slurs in the main text (at the same time, it is the most probable interpretation of A) and shorter ones as an additional possibility. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A |

In the main text we give the interpretation of ambiguous slurs of A compliant with Chopin's proofreading of the slurs in FE in analogous bars 25-27. In FE (→GE,EE) both slurs were interpreted as embracing only the 2nd halves of bars 29 and 30. According to us, the interpretation may be considered as an equal variant in relation to the main text, as Chopin, in a sense, authorised it by adding staccato dots in bar 30. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |
3 as the first note under the slur and so it was recreated in the editions. According to us, it is, however, very likely that Chopin mistook the last group in bar 16 with the first group in bar 17, which also starts with a
