The slurs on the 3rd beat of the bar perform a double function in A: concerning rhythm, as a part of indication of an irregular group, and articulation. In the editions only the group of semiquavers (without rest) were embraced with them. In the main text, we preserve the notation of A, yet both versions can be considered equal – at first, Chopin would mark irregular groups generally with a digit and a slur, however, then he would often revise slurs, transforming them into a slur-phrase marks. If in bar 45 the version with the harmonic accompaniment was chosen, one of the versions for the R.H. is to be selected here. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Triplet slurs |

Out of two slurs written in A, in GE (→FE→EE) the bottom was chosen, embracing only the group of small quavers. The choice, compliant with the general approach of the engraver of GE1, is, however, unfortunate, since the bottom slur is only a part of the marking of an irregular group in this context. In the main text we leave the top slur, performing an articulation and phrasing function – Cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 16. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Triplet slurs |
