Triplet-slurs in A

2 slurs in GE1 (→FEEE)

Slur in GE2

2 slurs suggested by the editors

Chopin wrote only triplet slurs in these bars. A comparison with the previous phrase suggests that it is an inaccuracy, perhaps following from the smorz. and rallent. indications, impeding writing the slurs. Therefore, in the main text we suggest slurs analogous to bars 257-258. The slurs in GE1 (→FEEE) – the two-bar slur and the distorted triplet one in bar 259 – are probably a result of a revision and inaccuracy respectively (GE2 overlooked the slur in bar 259).
