Starting from the second slur in bar 162, the slurring of the sources is compatible with the accents – the accents fall on the beginnings of the motifs separated with slurs. No such compatibility in the case of the second slur in bar 161 and first in bar 162 may be a result of their omission by Chopin, while he was making transition from triplet to phrasing slurs in [A]. Therefore, we suggest a unified phrasing slurring as an alternative to the source version. category imprint: Interpretations within context |

The error in GE1 might have resulted from the inaccurate notation of GC – the slur in bar 166 (last in the system) only reaches to the last crotchet despite the slur in the subsequent bars distinctly indicating a continuation. In GE2 that notation was interpreted correctly. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

The slurs in GC are written neglectfully, hence their meaning is unobvious – GE regarded them as parts of one slur. In the main text we give the slur of FE, displaying a characteristic, prolonged tenuto ending, analogous to the slur in the next phrase. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in GC , Tenuto slurs |

The slurring of GC is certainly incomplete and it was completed already in GE. In the main text we give the slur of FE (→EE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Errors of GC |

A comparison with FE, which is also based on [A], suggests that the earlier division of the slur in GC (→GE) is erroneous.

hairpin, one bar too early (see the previous note). Irrespective of the position of the division of slur, we consider the interpretation of the sources that reproduced it as coinciding slurs to be inaccurate; in the main text we interpret the first slur as a tenuto-slur and end it still in b. 176. It corresponds to the notation of
