  b. 43-44

1 slur in A

2 slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE)

2 slurs in GE2

The slurs of the editions, although almost certainly arbitrary (typical whole-bar slurs for the engraver of GE1), do not substantially influence the performance: the break falls between notes at the same pitch (g2) and leading the slur in bar 44 to the end of the bar may be regarded as a slur-tenuto, used by Chopin on a number of occasions.
