  b. 68-69

Slur to f1 in AI & FE (→GE1op,GE1no2,EEC)

Slur to g1 in A, EEW1 (→EEW2), GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2no2

The slur of AI reflects the original assumptions underlying the phrasing – it encompasses exactly 4 bars. In A, Chopin encompassed the entire first phrase with a slur, which, however, was not precisely reproduced in FE (→GE1op,GE1no2,EEC), perhaps due to the line of the text ending in bar 68. In subsequent editions, the slur was extended according to the musical sense.
