It is hard to understand what the rationale of the engraver of GE1 was when he was drawing slurs so dissimilar to the notation of A. It may be that the slur beginning over the trill in bar 31 was added in the last stage of proofreading as an ad hoc, simplified correction: it is absent in FE (→EE1; in later EE the slur was added). This time, GE2 did not restore the slurs of A; it only removed the slur above the sextuplet. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The slur of A is written vehemently both on the right-hand side, where no ambiguities concerning its range arise, and on the left-hand side, where one could have doubts whether it should start from the 1st or 2nd quaver of the 2nd half of the bar. A comparison of slurs of A in similar situations clearly proves that at the time of writing A Chopin's intention was a slur from the 2nd quaver. This is how it was interpreted in GE2. The interpretation of GE1 (→FE→EE) may be considered justified, yet it is most probably erroneous. Cf. the possibly Chopin proofreading in analogous bar 81. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

The inaccurate, too long slur of GE1 was misinterpreted in FE as clearly reaching the c2 quaver. The mistake was not repeated either in EE or in GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

Both versions of the slur, appearing in the editions, are almost certainly inauthentic. The version of GE1 (→FE) is most probably simply inaccurate, similarly the version of EE. In turn, in GE2 it is probably an attempt to reinterpret the notation of A while taking into account the Chopin notation of analogous bars 14 and 82. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |
