In the editors' opinion, the slur in A is a remnant of the original version, as in bar 180. In the discussed bar the longer slur added by Chopin in GC may even be regarded as joining the short one, which confirms our conviction that the long slur was meant by Chopin to replace the short one. It was reproduced that way in GE. The slur from A was overlooked in both FE and EE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

The slur in GC (→GE) was almost certainly written by Chopin – cf. the analogous bar 180, where the corresponding slur occurs in all the sources. The omission of the slur in A was caused most likely by the deletions which forced Chopin to write most of this bar on an additional staff. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors resulting from corrections , Authentic corrections in GC |

The earlier beginning of slurs, so as they encompass whole bars, exemplifies a common revision of GE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

In A (→GC) the slur breaks in the middle of the bar, which in A is caused by the fact of writing the 2nd half on a new page. This is how it was understood in FE and EE, in which the slur reaches the end of the bar. In the graphic layout of GC, in which this bar is not divided, the erroneous shortening of the slur is not that obvious and was arbitrarily recreated in GE. category imprint: Differences between sources |
