Slurs in GC, literal reading

Slurs in GC (contextual interpretation→GE1)

Slurs in FE

Slur in EE & GE2 (→GE3)

According to us, GE1 correctly acknowledged that the longer slurs of GC were supposed to replace the shorter, according to Chopin, written under them and probably earlier. It is indicated by the addition of accents, which may be considered as an equivalent of shorter slurs in bar 24. Therefore, we give this version in the main text, however, one has to admit that it is the slurs of FE that display higher compatibility with the structure of motifs, as the last two triplets in bar 24 constitute a shortened version of the earlier, six-note motifs in bar 23 and in the 1st half of bar 24. The slur of EE may also be authentic.
