When interpreted literally, the short slurs of GC (→GE1) are almost certainly erroneous due to the breaking of the slur between bars 73-74, contrary to the construction of the phrase. The suggested interpretation is based on the original slurring of analogous bars 55-57, in which Chopin combined the one-bar slurs in bars 55-56, written initially in GC. The phrasing may be considered as alternative with respect to the main text, based on FE and compatible with the slurring of analogous bars 54-57. The continuous slur in GE2 (→GE3) is a result of an arbitrary revision, yet the same slur in EE may be authentic.
