Two slurs in A (→FE→GE,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.

c2-e2 in AI, A & GE

b1-c2 in FE (→EE)
..

The c2-e2 third in AI and A is the original version, most probably left by inattention – the traces of similar corrections, e.g. on the 5th semiquaver of the previous bar, are visible both in AI and A. Chopin changed it in the last proofreading of FE (→EE), not included in GE.
