Two slurs in A (→FEGE,EE)

Permissible variant with one slur

In the main text we give two slurs written in A and left by Chopin with no changes in FE (→GE,EE). According to us, the half-bar slur introduced by Chopin in five previous analogous bars – bars 2, 3, 5, 10 and 11 – may be considered to be intentionally valid also here. Taking into account the very extensive scope of the proofreading, Chopin could have considered a correction in this bar to be too insignificant to charge the editor with it. Therefore, we suggest an alternative slurring, analogous to the one introduced in the aforementioned bars.
