Both lack of the slur in bar 6 in AI and in bars 4-5 in FE (→GE1,EE) may be considered as inaccuracy of notation related to the transition to the new line (such situations are very frequent in Chopin's pieces, e.g., in the Etude in F major, No. 8, bars 34-36 and 61 or E
major, No. 11 bars 40-42). Taking into consideration the clear slur in the analogous phrase in bars 1-2, in the main text we suggest a similar solution, combining two slurs appearing in the enumerated sources. In GE2 and subsequent GE,s, a slur was added in bar 5.
