Slur in A

No slur in FE (→GE1)

Slur in EE & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

In the main text we give a slur introduced by Chopin in the FE1's proofreading in the analogous bar 124. The identical slur in EE and later GE is a revision based on the same observation.

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

Slur in A, EE & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)
