Slurs in AT

Divided slur in AW

Continuous slur in CDP, GC (→GE), FE & EE

In the version prepared for print, Chopin abandoned in this fragment any attempts to suggest any phrase divisions, both structural (AT) and expressive (AW). The written in AW phrase breath effect in the 2nd half of bar 7 (and 26) was used – in the form underlined with articulation – only on the occasion of the last appearance of this fragment (bar 57).
