  b. 57-61

No L.H. slurs in A (→GE1FE)

L.H. slur in bars 60-61 in EE

2 L.H. slurs in GE2

In GE2 slurs for the L.H. were added under both phrases of the solo part. In EE a similar addition was introduced in bars 60-61, however, the added slur begins only from the 1st semiquaver (a) in bar 60. (EE also has a fragment of a slur of the L.H. at the end of bar 57, which is the last in line in this edition. We omit this slur, having no continuation and therefore lacking sense.) In the main text, we leave the notation of A, since from this place to the end of the recitative, Chopin wrote only two slurs for the L.H. (in bars 62 and 64), which does not seem to be a result of inadvertence. The additions introduced subsequently in the proofreading of GE1 and FE (bars 62, 63, 64, 66-67 and 69), although perhaps coming from the composer, are of a random nature and their authenticity is uncertain (they could have been a resultant of Chopin's proofreading and editorial revisions).
