Slurs for 5 & half bars in AI

2 bars in A

1 bar in FE (→GE,EE3)

7 bars in EE4

The sources differ in the length of the initial phrase of the Etude, provided with the slurs in the L.H. As there is no doubt that the aforementioned slurs are written as a model and the similar slurring generally applies in the entire Etude, all these notations should be considered as equal. In the main text we give the version of A, as undoubtedly authentic and later than AI (in FE the missing slurs in bar 2 may be accidental). See also bars 8 and 9-16.
