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 proposal of the main text refers to the slurring of GC (→GE), appearing most often in analogous phrases. The version of EE may be considered to be an equal variant. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Authentic corrections of EE |

..
The division of the slur of EE into two parts is most probably related to the graphical layout used in this edition, in which, from the 2nd beat of bar 98, the part of the R.H. is written entirely on the top stave. The slur, in turn, concerns above all the melodic progression, in bars 99-100 performed already by the R.H. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of EE |

..
In this phrase, the slur in GC (→GE) begins on the 2nd beat of bar 104, which, in spite of concordance with EE, we consider to be an inaccuracy, as in other similar situations, the slurs in GC generally start from the beginning of the bar. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |

..
The compatible versions of GC and FE1 (→FE2) prove that such a notation was also in [A]. Chopin's highly likely mistake, probably related to the introduction of an enhanced version of the transition to the next phrase (it may be supposed that bar 108 was originally a repetition of bar 107, same as in two previous similar phrases), is proved by awkward in this context parallel A category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: GE revisions , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE , Authentic corrections of EE |
