Both versions of slurring appearing in the sources may be authentic, although it does not seem that Chopin hesitated how to mark these bars. The difference results rather from an inaccurate notation, both in [A] (→GC→GE) and in the base text to EE. Settling this kind of doubt can be difficult, even if we dispose of the autograph – cf. the Mazurka in G minor, Op. 24 No. 1, bar 21. In the main text, in all seven bars we give slurs embracing entire bars, in accordance with the notation of GC in the vast majority of the cases (five out of six). The version of EE can be considered to be an alternative, equivalent suggestion (in bars 81-84 it offers a kind of an accent on each strike: strong beat of a bar, beginning of the slur, a written out accent; it should not blur the natural character of this delicately swinging figure). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of EE |

The version of GC (→GE) is almost certainly erroneous, although it may not have been a typical Terzverschreibung error, resulting from the confusing the eye pattern consisting of parallel lines, but rather an erroneous assimilation of various chords – cf., e.g., the 1st mov., bar 221. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Terzverschreibung error , Errors of GC |

The slurring of the sources raises doubts here. In FE all slurs starting from bar 121 were overlooked. The slur of GC abruptly ends in bar 117, yet the shape of the ending suggests a continuation. Perhaps it made the engraver of GE combine this slur with the next one in bar 121, which cannot be rationally explained. The identical slur in EE is most probably a result of Chopin proofreading of the base text to this edition, however, also in this case one can assume an inaccuracy, as the part which was added in EE (bars 120-123) is linked with the previous slur, yet it does not reach the last note of the current phrase. In the main text we give the most credible elements of the notation of FE (the slur ending in bar 120) and GC (the new slur from bar 121). The continuous slur of EE may be considered to be an alternative solution, perhaps authentic. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in GE , EE inaccuracies , Authentic corrections of EE |

Chopin manner of writing ties clearly indicates that the ties combined in Chopin's mind with the note being added, which, due to this fact, was not struck. When interpreted in this way, the notation of GC means sustaining c category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |
