  b. 42-43

Only R.H. (1 slur, contextual interpretation) in AI

Both hands (3 slurs) in A & EE2

Two slurs in FE (→GE1)

Four slurs in GE1a (→GE2→GE3→GE4→GE5) & EE3 (→EE4)

In AI the entire descending dyad passage is to be performed only by the R.H. The division into hands, adding brilliance and impressive virtuosity, is written already in the final form, without corrections in A (→FE→GE,EE). Chopin introduced a similar change in bars 44-45.
