The analysis of all four analogous places (bars 14-16, 22-24, 68-70 and 76-78) leads to a conclusion that the slur in GE1 and the same slur added in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4,FE5) are probably inaccurate. In turn, the remaining two versions may be considered to be authentic – they are two most justified interpretations of the notation of GC. In the main text we give the version of EE, whose accordance with Chopin's idea is, according to us, most likely.
In FE1 (→FE2) there are no slurs at all, which is a patent error.
