The slur over the pair of thirds could have been added in the proofreading of GE1 by Chopin, although a mistake of the engraver cannot be entirely excluded (at the beginning of bar 72 the top part of the F letter can be regarded as a short slur). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |

The missing slur in GE1 (→FE→EE) is certainly an oversight, completed in GE2 after A. The same slur was added in GE2 also in the L.H. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The earlier beginning of the slur in FE (→EE) is certainly a result of inaccuracy of the engraver. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

..
Beginning a slur from the 1st quaver – clearly contrary to the notation of A – is a typical example of the routine approach of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE) to the issue of slurring (see the characterization of GE1). GE2 returned the notation compliant with the manuscript. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

..
The moment of the slur's beginning in A is not entirely clear – the sign may be understood as a part of the portato indication (together with dots) for five semiquavers played on the 2nd beat of the bar; however, one can also see here a rhythmic mark (having implications for the phrasing) over the entire sextuplet. According to us, the first possibility is more likely here and this is the version we give in the main text. The editions adopted the second version, which was certainly influenced by the routine approach of the engraver of GE1 – see the adjacent note on staccato dots. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |
