  b. 97-98

No slurs in As

Slur in AI

Slurs in A & EE

Slurs in FE (→GE)

In As there are no slurs in these bars, whereas in AI a slur – unclear – is written only in bar 98, being a repetition of bar 34. In the main text, we give the slurs of A, since their authenticity – despite quite a careless notation – seems to be unquestionable. The slurs of FE (→GE) may be a result of Chopin's proofreading, yet, due to the lack of visible traces of performing changes in print, it is not certain. How it occurred that all EE include, accordingly, a version different from the version of FE, what is more, identical with the text of A, remains unclear.
