Slurs in GE2 (→GE3)

The slurs in the L.H. at the transition between bars 4-5 and 8-9 are only in GE2 (→GE3) and cannot be authentic as such. However, in all analogous places (bars 20-21, 24-25, 36-37, 40-41 and 58-59) a similar pair of quavers is connected with a slur, at least in one of the sources which may convey Chopin's notation (FC, FE and EE1). According to us, it allows for considering all situations of missing slurs in these bars as inaccuracy of notation. In particular, we give slurs in the main text in discussed bars 4-5 and 8-9.
