The starting point of the slur in the L.H. is not entirely clear in A, hence both interpretations – of GE1 (→FE→EE) and GE2 – may be considered justified. In the main text we adopt an interpretation closer to the literal one. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

Bar 100 is the last one on the page of A and, as it often happens, the slurs at the transition between the pages are written inaccurately. The slur in bar 100 reaches far beyond the notes, suggesting its continuation, yet in bar 101 there is no possible ending of this slur. Therefore, the versions of the editions in which the slur ends together with the last note in bar 100 may be considered to be justified. However, the logic of the musical course suggests that it is the missing ending of the slur in bar 101 that is inaccurate and not the overextended ending of the slur in bar 100 – cf. e.g. an analogous situations 4 bars further. Starting the slur in bar 101 from the beginning of the bar is a typical inaccuracy of GE1 (→FE→EE), corrected in GE2. (The slur of GE1 bears traces of corrections in print – one can see it was initially divided into a few parts. However, it does not mean that Chopin wanted to move the beginning of the slur – the aim of the proofreading was undoubtedly to combine the illogical fragments.) category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |

The continuous slur of the editions is a result of the proofreading of slurring performed in GE1. However, the visible traces let us state that the version of A was not corrected; it is also uncertain whether all slurs in GE1 were proofread by Chopin. Due to this reason, in the main text we preserve the notation of A in which the slurs overlap at the beginning of bar 104. The continuous slur may be considered an equal variant. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The slur under four quavers was undoubtedly added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE (→EE). However, the notation of FE does not clearly state whether the slur is actually supposed to concern the quavers of the top voice or of both; in other words, whether it is to start from the tied a category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |
