No slurs in A

Different slurs in GE1

Slurs from 2nd quaver in FE (→EE)

Slurs from first quaver in GE2

R.H. slur form first quaver suggested by the editors

The missing slur in the R.H. is almost certainly an inaccuracy of A: in the entire fragment, Chopin marked articulation of all remaining notes. In GE1 slurs in parts of both hands were added, which could have been performed upon initiative of Chopin. However, the proofreading was implemented inaccurately, since the range of the added slurs differs, which could not correspond to the composer's intention (the slurs were unified both in FE (→EE) and GE2, although in each differently). There is also a possibility that Chopin added only the slur in the R.H. and the second one is an addition of revision – cf. bars 148 and 154. Therefore, in the main text we give only the slur in the R.H. – see bars 145-160.
