  b. 8-25

One-bar slurs in AI, A & GE2op (→GE3op)

Two-bar slurs in FE (→EE,GE1op,GE1no2GE2no2)

It is not easy to evaluate how the difference between the slurring of sources in bars 8-9 (and similarly in bars 24-25) occurred. A includes two slurs in both places, although for the first time, when bar 8 appears at the end of the text's line, one could consider the slur in bar 9 to be a continuation of the previous. One-bar slurs are also in AI (except for bar 9, devoid of a slur). In this situation, one has to assume that the slurs of FE (→EE,GE1op,GE1no2→#GE2op2), combined in both places, could have been a result of Chopin's intervention. However, without being sure in this respect, in the main text we give the slurring of A, confirmed by AI. The version of FE, with a phrasing combining structural divisions (cf., e.g., the Waltz in A No. 3, bars 40-41), characteristic for Chopin, particularly in later pieces, can be considered to be (perhaps) an authentic variant.
