  b. 35-41

No L.H. slur in A (→GE1FE)

Slur to end of bar 40 in EE

Slur to beginning of bar 41 in GE2

Slur to bar 41 suggested by the editors

In the main text we suggest adding the slur in the L.H. – slurs in the L.H. are present both before and after this phrase, hence a missing slur could suggest a difference in performance between the right and left hand, which certainly was not Chopin's intention. When the phrase returns in bars 379-385, the slur in the L.H. is also absent, but in this case, Chopin consistently gave slurs only in the R.H. in the entire fragment in unison (bars 377-388). A similar addition was introduced already in EE as well as in GE2.
