Interpretation of the slurs beginning in bar 29 encounters difficulties, since both the first and the second are written in A in a way allowing for various interpretations. The first, when interpreted literally, would separate the grace notes starting the trill from the trilled note, hence it has to reach either further, which we consider the text of A, or closer, as it was interpreted in GE (→FE→EE). The second begins over the triplet, yet an intention of it having started earlier cannot be entirely excluded. Therefore, one can deem the interpretation of GE (→FE) to be justified too; even the version of EE cannot be definitely considered to be incompatible with Chopin's intention. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

The slur beginning on the 4th beat of bar 29 embraces in A the entire 1st beat of bar 30. Earlier endings visible in GE1 (→FE→EE) and GE2 are certainly arbitrary. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

In the main text we omit the additional slur written in A over the triplet (cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 16). In the editions the slur was also omitted. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

The slur written in A over the group of 15 demisemiquavers was, according to Chopin's intention, certainly supposed to embrace the entire group, which, as far as the right end is concerned, was interpreted in this way in GE (→FE→EE). In turn, the fact of initiating it already from the previous semiquaver, as it is in GE (→FE), is certainly a mistake. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A |

The slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE) could have been added by Chopin. However, taking into account the fact that some of additions of slurs in GE1 are questionable, as far as Chopin's participation in their addition is concerned, in the main text we consistently leave the version of A (cf. bars 29-31). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of GE |
