Slur in A (→FEGE)

Slurs in EE

Our suggestion

According to us, the slur written in bar 10 in A (→FEGE,EE3) represents a phase of the original, partially draft slurring of the Etude. Both in analogous bars 2-3 and 35-36 the slurs embrace the a note on the 3rd quaver of the bar (cf. the remark on bar 1) and in bars 2-3 one can also see traces of extending the slur from bar 2, so it embraces the 1st half of bar 3 too. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a slur modelled after the latter, corrected by Chopin.

In EE4 whole-bar long slurs in bars 11 and 12 were added to the slur in bar 10, which is an arbitrary addition.
