Slur under triplet in GC (→GE1), FE & EE

Longer slur in GE2 (→GE3)

The longer slur of GE2 (→GE3) is undoubtedly a result of an editorial revision, performed by analogy to Chopin's correction in bar 51. The change could have been certainly considered as justified, however, in the main text we remain with the written, authentic version of GC (→GE1), FE and EE – looking at this bar in GC, Chopin added marcato, yet he did not change the slurring.
