In the main text, we give the most certain slurs of A, as far as the sources are concerned. Omission of both slurs in GE1op and GE1no2 may mean that they were originally absent also in FE (cf. bars 138-139), in which, however, a slur in bar 137 was added in the last proofreading. The addition – perhaps coming from Chopin – certainly does not mean that bar 136 is to be devoid of a slur, in turn, it confirms the use of a new slur for bar 137 (cf. bars 8-9). The slurs added in later GE – different for each of two versions of this edition – are certainly revisions of the editors, modelled on analogous bars 8-9 (GE2op) or 152-153 (GE2no2).
