Slur over 8 bars in AI & A (→FEGE,EE)

Slur from quavers in AII & AIII

In the presentation autographs Chopin was undecided how to lead the slur over these bars – in AI he embraced with it already the initial trill, however, in the next two, the slurs begin only from the quavers in bar 73. Eventually, Chopin returned to the initial concept of a slur over the entire link. The slur of AII, interpreted literally, does not suggest a link with the further part (repetition of bar 5), which, taking into account the continuous slur in bars 1-10, has to be considered to be an inaccuracy of notation.
