The range of the slur written in A in the 2nd half of the bar is uncertain – we assume it is supposed to reach to the next bar. It was interpreted similarly in the editions, in which, however, except for GE2, the beginning of the slur was placed earlier, already over the b category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

The slurring of the first three beats of the bar constitutes a difficult editorial problem. The absence of signs in A must be considered an inaccuracy – it is the only recitative's fragment that is devoid of slurs. The addition of slurs in GE1 was most probably inspired by Chopin, yet due to the differences between the hands it is hard to assume that they exactly correspond to his intention (a rational attempt at interpreting the intention may be the slurs of GE2). The overlooked slur in the R.H. in FE may also indicate Chopin's proofreading – perhaps its aim was to achieve such slurs as in EE. If in bar 64 the version with harmonic accompaniment was chosen, the version without slurs or one of the versions with slurs in the R.H. only is to be selected here. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE |

In A both slurs are led to the beginning of bar 65; in spite of this, GE (→FE→EE) embraced only the 4th beat of bar 64 with them. In the main text, we preserve the notation of A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

The slurs in bars 65 and 67-68, which in A (→GE1→FE) are placed only over the R.H., were added in EE and GE2 also in the part of the L.H. We do not include these additions in the main text, since the notation of A does not seem to be incomplete in this fragment (cf. bars 57-61). The slurs in bars 66-67 and 69, added already in GE1, are discussed separately – see bars 66-69. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

The moment of beginning the slur over the 2nd half of the bar is unclear both in A and in GE1 – we assume that it starts from the 2nd semiquaver. In the remaining editions, the slur starts from the 1st semiquaver, which can be considered an alternative interpretation of A. In EE and GE2 an analogous slur for the L.H. was added. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |
crotchet. In the editions, another slur was added, for the L.H., which does not seem to be necessary in this layout. In addition, in the part of the L.H. a slur in the 1st half of the bar was added, whereas in
