The absence of L.H. slurs in GE1 is most probably an engraver's oversight, perhaps provoked by doubts about their placement above or under the notes. The slurs were added in GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

Taking into account the slur – concordant in the sources – in an analogous situation in bars 124-125, we consider the shorter slur in GC (→GE) to be inaccurate. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GC |

The absence of slurs in GE1 is undoubtedly an oversight of the engraver, rectified in GE2. The FE version also results most probably from the engraver's mistake. The slur omitted in FE was added in EE, perhaps at Chopin's request. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of EE |

The comparison with analogous bars 125-126 and 133 indicates that the slurring in FE (→EE) is correct. Therefore, the longer slurs in GC and GE result probably from misreading [A] by the copyist and GC by the engraver. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in GC |

The inconsistent with the bar stucture L.H. slurring in GC as well as the lack of the second L.H. slur in FE1 are almost certainly mistakes by the copyist and the engraver. On the other hand, the slur added in FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4) is probably inaccurate, as evidenced by the slurring of the subsequent bars. In the main text, we give the probable reconstruction of the slurs in [A], aptly guessed in GE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , FE revisions , Inaccuracies in GC |
