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 staccato dots are written over all semiquavers in the R.H. However, GE1 and subsequent editions overlooked the first of them, and it cannot be excluded that it was Chopin's proofreading. In GE2 the 12 dots were repeated under the part of the L.H., which is only a formal intervention, since dots (and slurs) in the Chopin notation are certainly binding for both hands. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |

The additional slur in bar 66 is, according to us, a remaining part of a simplified or unfinished Chopin proofreading of GE1. It was most probably aimed at restoring the slur written in A, initially misinterpreted in print. Doubling the slurs in the part of the L.H. – see bars 66-69. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |

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 |
