Slurs in A

Slurs in GE1

Slurs in FE (→EE)

Slur in GE2

In the main text we give the slurs of A, since the changes of their range and placement are introduced in the editions almost certainly inauthentically:

  • In GE1 one slur embraces almost an entire bar and it was probably meant to combine both Chopin slurs. At the same time, the clearly marked in A ending of the slur on the d3 minim in the next bar was ignored. The slur over the group of grace notes was moved under the notes and it was printed so inaccurately that it practically combines the c2 and fcrotchets.
  • The slurs were then repeated in FE (→EE) with further, minor shifts, also certainly arbitrary.
  • In GE2 the slur under the group of grace notes was removed, whereas the top slur was extended to the next bar (in accordance with A).
