The absence of the slur embracing the grace nots is probably a result of inattention of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

It is difficult to find an objective behind combining the slurs above the rest, hence the slur of GE1 (→FE→EE) is most probably a mistake of the engraver. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |

In the main text we give the motivic slurs of A, whose authenticity is unquestionable. The slurs of the editions, being probably a result of carelessness and routine approach of the engraver of GE1, could have been then accepted by Chopin. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

The change of subtle motivic slurs, written in A on the 1st and 3rd beats of the bar, to the slurs embracing the entire sextuplets is certainly an arbitrary simplification of GE (→FE→EE). Cf. bar 24. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |

The slurs of A are unclear in the 2nd group of semiquavers: when interpreted literally, the first embraces the first two notes while the second the last three. A comparison with adjacent, analogically structured figures unambiguously shows that it is the second slur that starts inaccurately (too late). In GE1 (→FE→EE) a less likely interpretation was adopted, in which each slur embraces three notes. In GE2 two slurs were replaced with one (cf. the 1st note in this bar). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |
