Slur to f2 in GC

Slur to e2 in GE

No slur in FE

Slur up to bar 133 in EE

Slur up to bar 134 suggested by the editors

The absence of the slur in FE is certainly of an accidental nature – all slurs in bars 121-142 were overlooked. Moreover, the inaccuracy of the slur of GC (revised in GE) is unquestionable. The basis of the main text is the added slur of EE, most probably by Chopin.
