The visible in A (→FE) and EE little slur in the 2nd half of the bar was overlooked in FC (→GE). Instead of that, Chopin added in this copy a longer slur, embracing the entire bar. The slur was introduced also in EE3, thanks to which the edition, as the only source, presents the closest to Chopin's intention version of the rhythm and slurring in this bar. In the main text, we omit the shorter slur, as, according to us, Chopin replaced it with the added longer one. Moreover, the notation of A is ambiguous – it is not clear which components of the chords were supposed to be embraced with it – we assume that they were b
1 and a1.
